I support my local vendors but I also plant my own garden… my family consume the fruit and vegetables, plus have fun and… is a way to spend time together.

I gave up all foods derived from animal products, almost 30 days ago, to lessen the environmental impact of my life! I started as a thirty day experiment, but now I know it’s going to become part of my lifestyle, because I’ve never been happier. The more I learn about the environment, and ways I can help, the more I’ve been doing, reducing garbage (virtually eliminating paper products (minus toilet paper)) starting a veggie garden, taking my car off the road, un plugging things, not watching t.v, etc. I really believe in the benefits of becoming more environmentally aware, and think that everyone would benefit from trying to live with a lower impact!

I keep my baby’s not-so-dirty bath water (he uses a baby tub) and empty it into the washing machine when he’s done. I’m now trying to think of a system to do the same once he uses the big tub…

As a four kids mother, after the third child I realize de accumumations of toys, clothes and unuseful objets I was having. So I started to explain my kids that with birthday, christmas, easter, and other presents we were just wasting money (that I had to work for) and contributing with pollution. Even my seven year daughter understood and preferred family moments that objets. We really celebrate birthdays and christmas as special days, we are happay to live them and they stay in our memories longer that toys. This are not good news for productivness but we are learning to feel more in peace.
