Not that I am celebrating Valentine's Day but to those who do... Pass on giving store bought cards...I know the thought of it...but really how many cards truly say exactly what … [Read more...] about Tips How To Have An Eco Friendly Green Valentine’s Day

Eco friendly Halloween tips
Normally I don't write Halloween posts, mainly because I can't stand Oct 31st. Not because it's Halloween but because I got to Miami on Oct 31, 1985 then stupidly got married Oct 31, 1986 (the good thing is that it only lasted about 4 years!) But, I simply can't stand October 31st! I should really get over it by now though it's been almost 26 years! However, I'll put … [Read more...] about Eco friendly Halloween tips
Green Hurricane Preparations

I think … [Read more...] about Green Hurricane Preparations

The “green thing” back in the day
A friend of mine, Tammy Lance forwarded this to me. Not sure of the original source but love the message and wanted to share. We just had Earth Hour where people turn off all appliances, electrical devices for an hour. It's been debated if this is a warm & fuzzy attempt where people who normally don't do anything eco-friendly can feel good about their efforts or if it … [Read more...] about The “green thing” back in the day

So as you'll see I have a lot going on here showing that you can grow your own foods, even on a 3rd floor apartment patio! Of course it … [Read more...] about Container Gardening update
