For many years I have been anti-plastic bag - not only do I carry my own trendy re-usable bags, but I also annoy shoppers by showing them off and suggesting they also become... 'Bag-ist'! Organizations like conservingnow.com are successfully and quite rightly making plastic bag users feel very naughty!

We have all heard about the devastating effects on our planet from plastic bag waste. Now there is help! ConservingNow.com has taken my passion for recycling and reusing into an incredible website. You can learn about green living, buy unique reminder products and find the tools to teach your friends and family to say good bye plastic bags and hello going green. If you look at one website today (besides mine!!) make it ConservingNow.com!

With Mother's Day fast approaching, so many of us are thinking of sending some flowers to our moms!  If you are going to splurge - seek out varieties that are grown locally and organically.  The application of toxins and chemicals used to grow fresh flowers can pollute water systems.  By buying organic flowers you are reducing the amount of pesticides used to grow flowers.  Consider - if all roses purchased for Valentine's Day were organically grown, it would prevent the use of 22,700 pounds of pesticides - equivalent to the weight of a giant Hershey's Kiss more than 10 feet tall!
