I recently had to fill out a survey. One of the questions was, “Are you green even when it is inconvenient?” Well that got me thinking.

When we are in our home it is easy being green most of the time. We shop conscientiously of what we buy. We make sure we buy everything we can naturally. We make sure if we buy things in containers that they are recyclable. We carry cloth bags in our cars to carry home our purchases. We cook from scratch to give our families the best nutrition and variety. These are all things we do to live green and naturally.

But what about those times when we aren’t at home? What about those times when we are traveling? What about that simple trip to the “big city” for an outing?

I love eating out on the road. My weakness is Egg McMuffins. Now I can make these at home. But there is just something about getting them from that drive through window that … well there is just nothing like it. My guilty little sin.

But look at what comes with my Egg McMuffin. Well first it is wrapped in the wax paper stuff. They put in at least half a dozen napkins. OK so there is only one of me, do I look that messy? And well if I am going through the drive through you know I have to have an iced coffee. We all know that cup isn’t recyclable.

Earth Day has been celebrated on April 22 since 1969. Many countries around the world celebrate Earth Day. Our world is becoming more green every year. But what does it mean to you, the individual?

There are a lot of things that we can do to celebrate Earth Day. There are changes we can make in our every day lives to green up our environment. It is great to celebrate Earth Day once a year, it is even better to continue those ideas through out the year. Earth Day should be celebrated every day.

Going green is about the little things. Plant trees, garden, recycle, use less packaging, change your light bulbs to high efficiency, these are all little things you can do.

Using natural ingredients in your cleaning routine can make a difference as well. When looking for cleaning products look for packages made from recycled containers and containers that can be recycled. Look for products with natural or organic ingredients.

Think of each day as Earth Day and keep celebrating all year long! What are you doing this year for Earth Day?
