Alright all of you “Green” wannabes! Now is the time to make a change. Stephen and I recently watched a show that is inspiring us to be more kind to our Mother Earth. It really isn’t that hard, we just need to be more conscience. One simple way we are making a change is by only taking 5 minute showers. What are you doing to make your “mother” happy? We want to know . . . so we can be better and pass on a good tradition to our kids. (I noticed some recycling bins over by the library for all of the Rexburg folk.) A little love goes a long way they say…GO GREEN.

Hear in Vancouver they take green seriously and everyone has 3 recycling bins and the school recycles all of the paper and even the organic food waste in the cafeteria. At home we try to cut down on water too but for us it is important to reuse plastic containers. Our recycling center only takes containers with an opening smaller than the bottom. Buy yogurt in a big container so you only have one to throw away instead of many. They are also good for left overs. Anyhow, I am kind of a green fan, in my Patriarchal Blessing it says I will help protect and preserve the environment. I don’t think I am a granola or anything but I am trying to be conscious of my ‘mother’. Thanks Jodi

They have recycling bins here, well acutually there are 3 bins for metal, plastic and glass and then just trash. They put cloths and other things that are useful by the bins and people just go by and get things they can use. We are very aware of water here too. Thanks for the advice.

Good reminder for us! We recycle, plus I have some big bags I try and bring them when I shop to cut down on plastic bags. Since I watched the go green Oprah show, I try to use less napkins too! Every little thing helps.

We do need to be more aware of our mother earth.. we have been trying to recycle more than usual and to turn our water off while we are brushing our teeth instead of letting it run the whole time…every little bit can help I guess.

Use fluorescent light bulbs instead of the regular incandescent ones. Whenever one of mine burn out I change it out with a fluorescent one.
