Happy Earth Day
Happy Earth Day!!!
My suggestion for today? Commit to one thing in your life that you will change this year to be a little easier on the planet. Here are some easy ones.
- Use reusable bags for all your shopping
- Recycle - everything you can
- Wash your clothes in cold water only
- Change your light bulbs to CFLs
- Go one day per week without eating meat
- Join a beach cleanup, it will change your outlook
These are just the easy ones that take minimal effort and are simple to incorporate into your everyday life. Of course keep reading Green Spirited because Stacy and I have new ideas everyday to make you a darker shade of green. Now go out and enjoy the beautiful day!
About this blog
Roxanne Kotzman is a Daily News Photo Department veteran of nine years. When she and longtime friend Stacy Long
discovered their love all of all things environmentally responsible, they launched Happy Monkey Planet and jumped head-first into the vibrant eco-community.
Wow, so much to learn! But initially the idea is a pretty simple one: Let's change the world through information, education and action.
Rox & Stacy are a lot like you: ecologically minded but sometimes just plain overwhelmed when charged with the task of making a far-reaching difference in the environment. They have jobs, families, homes, lives and pets.
But what if doing better was a simple as a light-bulb change, a reusable canvas grocery bag, recycling that soda can or a cold-water wash?
These eco-chicks just hope to have a little fun, learn a little more, share a lot of information and maybe make the planet a happier, greener, cleaner place.
