Earth Day Tutorial Round Up

(spring hike)



(our beach after a big storm)



Happy Earth Day Everyone! I hope that you spend the day outside, getting muddy, climbing trees and most of all, thinking about what impact your actions have on the earth. I also hope that you are choosing at least one idea to implement in your life to make it more sustainable.

My sister is choosing to use reusable napkins from here on out, and I am making a commitment to take the bus to class *at least* once a week, hopefully two days, instead of driving and I am also giving up Clorox wipes. I know giving up those might not sound like much, but I didn't realize how many of them our house uses when it would be just as easy, and so much less harmful, to use a cloth and some organic cleaning solution.

Anyway, I thought it might be fun to do a tutorial round up of fun, earth friendly projects that are perfect for celebrating Earth Day.

Do you have any favorite eco-friendly tips or tutorials? How are you celebrating today?
