Last week-end, while at the farmers market, I noticed some corn on the cob, which caused me to do a happy dance. I inquired if they had been sprayed, but my farmer was unable to say for sure because he did not grown them himself. The happy dance ended and I left the corn on […]

Earth Year
Photo Credit gideon_wright/Flickr Earth Day is the day we celebrate the earth. Last week-end, people from all over the world came together to plant trees, pledge to compost and/or recycle more, remember their reusable mugs and bags. It seems to me that people sometimes forget that the earth needs some love the other 364 days […]
Earth Day- Just Another Day
Today is the day we celebrate Mother Earth and all her wonders. For me, however, I will be out treating today just like any other day.

Recycling CFL Light Bulbs, Bottle Caps and CDs
Gift cards, plastic bottle caps, CDs and CD cases. I don’t know about you, but I have a nifty collection of these items and some, sitting in my closest. I never threw them out- I always knew deep down, I would find a place that would recycle them or at the very least find a second use […]
