We're in need of new bedroom furniture & desk at home-- so we've made the pledge to go secondhand. We're combing thrift shops... it's taking longer to find something that'll "fit", especially because we're not driving around each week, but trying to combine our store trips with other errands too.

I will also be showing them how to plant an indoor herb garden and they will each receive and indoor herb seedling to bring home. I will also be teaching them about conserving our resources. I think it will be a lovely Earth Day. I will be teaching children the importance or reducing, reusing and recycling.

We started composting, planted 3 trees, flowers, and finally got some grass planted in our yard! Woohoo! The rest is the normal everyday stuff I already do! I don't know that we will do anything specifically ON earth Day since it is a school work day, I we've been doing little things through out the month I’ve been working on Earth Day all month.

I will walk whereever I need to go, unplug things that aren't being used in the house, and hang my laundry outside to dry rather than using the electricity for the clothes dryer....that is just to name a few things!! I plan to be outside a lot of the day! On Earth Day, I plan to do things the same that I already do.

For Earth Day we're getting together with our newly formed Roots and Shoots group for a potluck breakfast and then going to the local Earth Day Parade. Kids and adults dress up as their favorite animals and participate in a "Procession of the Species" through downtown. We helped plant trees last week for Oregon Arbor Week.

She already points out litter everywhere we go and comments that it's "bad for the Earth and the Planet". We try to make every day Earth Day by discussing environmental matters and I explain to her why I do the things I do (unplug the microwave after using it, use vinegar for cleaning and laundry...) Happy Earth Day everyone!!! This year for Earth Day, my 4-year old daughter and I will plant a tree in our yard and pick up the trash (if any) on our block.

There are few things better than watching Disney movies with real animals. On Earth Day, I am headed to a few different events around DC and Annapolis. I'll be at the National Mall on Earth Day to enjoy all that the nation's capital has to offer (traveling by metro to save some fuel), then I am off to Annapolis as part of Green Drinks (http://www.greendrinksforthebay.org )with some friends.
