Now, I've always been fairly environmentally conscious by recycling and using reusable grocery bags. I try to recycle anything from our home. I use heavy duty reusable grocery totes. We don't buy water bottles and filter our own water. We reuse Walmart bags when we have them. I turn off the water when I am brushing my teeth and, thanks to Ayden, I now take shorter showers. We switched to long life light bulbs. We try not to drive places if we don't have to, but I have to wonder if we are really being very environmentally friendly.
The Lorax is that movie that when watching, my heart hurts. Ok, I get it. I'm a total softy when it comes to animals. It really made me think of how much I hate to see animals getting hit on the road or pictures of neglected animals. I hate the idea of forests being cut down and animals no longer having a habitat. This may seem a little crazy but it's something that I really do want to help with- even if it's only a small amount.
So I need some help from you readers. How do I help my family become more "green"? What are ways that we can help the environment and the animals that inhabit it? How can I teach our son that we need to preserve these things? How does your family try to stay "green"?
