New Year

The New Year brings with it many wonderful ways to turn a new leaf. Many people are trying to be more environment friendly in the coming year. By being friendly to earth you are actually being friendly to yourself. As a person who has tried to use less and enjoy what I have, I have come to find that it pays to be kind to the earth. Here are a couple of ways that I have tried:

*Use the library for all my entertainment needs

Video Games- $4.00 for seven days

Books on CD- prices vary

Books-FREE

CD’s: Prices Vary

DVD: 1.00 for seven days

*Bring my own bags when I go shopping.

I have even started decorating my old ugly plain bags with patches and paint. It is fun and allows me to be creative.

*Grow your own vegetables

*EAT YOUR VEGGIES- I always hated to eat vegetables so this was a challenging thing for me to do, but through time (a long time) I have come to enjoy snacking on carrots and snow peas.

*Take the time to find healthy meals for my friends and family.
