Whatever you do, don’t throw your pumpkins in the trash! Every year, about 900,000 tons of pumpkin produced will be put in the trash instead of eaten or composted.

    April 21, 2020 / 7 Comments

    One of the most rewarding ways to celebrate Earth Day is by educating others. As the effects of climate change become more evident each day, more and more authors and illustrators have come to action and created beautiful books to teach the youth about the importance of protecting our planet.

Having a baby has certainly challenged my sustain Having a baby has certainly  challenged my sustainability goals.  I know that disposable diapers create a lot of waste- in fact an estimated 3.5 million tons of waste every year.  But I couldn’t bring myself to commit to doing the reusable cloth diapers.
