We’re celebrating Earth Day in my house by using as many recyclables as possible to produce less trash, at least in these 24 hours.
No plastic sandwich bags in those school lunches today, cloth instead of paper napkins (classy, right?), and we all agreed to drink tap instead of bottled water.
We’ll have leftovers for dinner so nothing in the fridge goes to waste. And tonight my friend and neighbor Stephen Looser will not call to warn, “Colleen, I just drove past your house and every light is on!”
It feels good to participate in this global effort that encourages people to be angels for our planet. Happy (Angels on) Earth Day!
