Mom’s how many of you teach your children about saving our Earth? How many of you think about these issues yourself? We are all part of this world and when each and everyone of us takes steps to make a difference it can change the world! The Mommies here at Mommies United have some great tips and products for you and your children.
1. Turn off the water while your children and you brush your teeth.
2. Plant a tree, or five!
3. Carry your own water bottles.
4. Do conscious laundry. Don’t do it all at once, do your laundry while not in peak hours. This will also save you money.
5. Swap out those old light bulbs with compact florescent bulbs. They save energy and money.
6. Get rid of that pesky junk mail. Pull out the pre-paid stamped envelope in your junk mail, write “please remove” on the envelope and send it back to them – on their dime.
7. Turn off lights and unplug items you are not using.
8. Drive the speed limit. This may take longer but it will also save you in gas. And help reduce emissions.
9. Recycle! Teach your children what it is and what items to look for as recyclables. Make a fun craft project such as decorate bins and teach them to get involved.
10. Buy re-usable bags. And if you are only buying toilet paper and a few items don’t take those grocery bags from the store. It makes a difference.

Such an important post. I'm glad to see other bloggers taking notice of Earth Day.
I've been posting up weekly Go Green tips. The first week was how to reduce household waste. The second was how to clean green. The third, how to conserve water. My fourth post, going up tomorrow, will be how to conserve energy around the house as well as how to have a Greener Baby. Come check them out. Get some ideas. :)
