The more I adopt, the more I learn about and realize we can all do better. So I'll share a few of the things I practice and have even gotten my family to practice as well... re-useable bags for all types of shopping or simply forgoing a bag altogether, buying in bulk, buying local, composting all kitchen scraps at my house, ditching the dryer and hang-drying all our clothes, and of course biking whenever possible instead of driving. It's fun, and really not so hard. This book sounds amazing and like it should be in the waiting room of all dentist, doctor, orthodontist, etc. for all patients to discover.

I compost everything compostable (made easier by the fact that our city gave everyone composting bins that are picked up every second week, and kitchen compost bins). I use a refillable water bottle, and recycle any other plastic, glass or tetra-pack container I use. I use glass containers instead of plastic. And in the winter, I try to bundle up a bit more instead so as to keep the furnace temperature a little lower (Although this is also an economical move - heating oil is expensive!)

I have been using a refillable water bottle for about a year now and over the past few months started bringing my own bags to the grocery store and mall. I have a long way to go but would love to work towards doing more. This book sounds fabulous.

Recently the bouquet was Egyptian walking onions, they made a nice and different arrangement.

Isn't it what this era is all about? To be aware and to teach awareness... so where does one start??!! In my daughter's lunch bag: healthy lunch and snacks, reusable containers, stainless steel water/juice bottle... such simple changes now brings a young child to realise we must! be kind to our home, our planet. In the kitchen with close to ''zero tolerance'' plastic container/wrap usage... in the bathroom with conscious awareness of paper and soap usage... our appliances being turned off and unplugged when not in use... in our garden and lawns; to simply be kind, sow and grow. Like so many pertinent changes, it starts from within. Really looking forward to reading your book and being further guided as to how one can go the extra distance for the sake of our planet and humanity. Congrats on making a difference! Back to basics!

Ironic, huh? I am also growing my own lettuce and kale for my smoothies and later in the season will have lots of homegrown veggies. What I don't grow myself I but at our weekly farmer's market.
