It's Earth Day.  To celebrate Earth Day, we're planning to have a board game night tonight (no television or other electronic distractions).  It's been a hectic week so far, planting our garden, doing spring cleaning, trying to fit in some exercise so I can stay relatively healthy, etc.  

Please visit the following website to find out more about great Earth Day events:  www.earthday.org.

The following are some simple tips on how to start living an eco-friendly life (today's a great day to start).

Donate all of your old clothing/items to a charity (Goodwill, Salvation Army, local churches or local libraries).
Give a living plant or a pack of seeds as a gift for an upcoming holiday (instead of buying some plastic gimmicky gift item, consider giving a plant to someone you love).
Donate time (with every leading busy lives, the one thing people appreciate the most is the gift of time, so help a friend out and babysit for free or volunteer, the dividends are endless).
Encourage face time (instead of depending on electronics, texting, cellphone, skyping, etc., schedule some in person face time, you will enjoy hearing their voices in person).
