Let's Get Canning!

Gardening season is in full swing, which means lots of fresh, colorful, luscious fruits and vegetables just patiently waiting for their harvest.

Earth Day, Every Day

Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money. ~Cree Indian Proverb

Every year, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the 1970's birth of the environmental movement as we know it today. Earth Day was celebrated for the first time on April 22, 1970, when U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson encouraged students to develop environmental awareness projects in their communities. Mr. Nelson, Senator of Wisconsin, proposed the first major environmental event in U.S. history in an effort to shake the political world and force the insertion of environmental issues within the national political frame. The very first Earth Day led to the creation of the The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the adoption of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts. It is only in 1990, that Earth Day became a global event, mobilizing 200 million people in 141 countries and acting as a lever for global environmental issues. Today, more than 500 million people in 184 countries are taking part, every year, in Earth Day. Over the years, it has become the largest, and with the most participation, eco-friendly event on the planet.

I am a sucker for these homemade tricks and potions intended to be money-savers and to replace the toxic products sold in stores. So I put the miniature race car down, with my son giving me a look like he just lost his game partner forever, and crank up the volume! These ideas presented by the "Frugalista" are pretty neat. I remained impressed by the originality and knew I had to share it with you guys!
