THE EARTH DAY 2007 PARTY IS OVER, LEFTOVERS ARE BEING REDUCED, REUSED, AND RECYCLED.....

Earth Day 2007, people celebrated till they turned green.

People got pumped up.
They got busy replacing light bulbs, bringing in their own grocery bags, and recycling bottles and paper.

But what happens now that the celebrating is over?
Now that the news has moved onto the next holiday cycle (Mother's Day!, Mother's Day!).

We human beings are creatures of habit.....aren't we?
And until new habits are ingrained into a lifestyle, it is oh soooo tempting to be caught up in the
flow of an event, peak at the party, and once the party is a memory so are all those new habits.

So let's remember that everyday is Earth Day, and the simplest green choices can make a significant difference to just how well humans live now and for generations to come.

One of my favorite ways for busy people to remember is the goal/reward approach.
My goal: The first Monday of each month, I will post my favorite Green Checklist.
I'll use it to create a "green score" so that I can track my progress each month.
My reward: It will be fabulous, and I'll keep it to myself.

Living green isn't about perfection, it's about progress. Everyone can do something.
So count on seeing the checklist.
Readers can prepare now by figuring out how to reward themselves for all their green choices.

Why am I willing to make the commitment to posting every month?
I have seen a significant difference in wellness when people switch to non-toxic household products. Living green works.
Let it work for you.
