Green Encouragement

It's the topic of the day :) 

I think sometimes everyone needs a little encouragement to be a little bit more green.  Since Earth Day is this week, I don't feel bad shamelessly plugging our planet - which I do on a daily basis anyway.

So if you're looking for some encouragement, or need a little push for you DH/SO, these are some things that really opened my eyes.

Wall-E also hit a soft spot for me.  I know it's a cartoon, and Disney...but seriously, that movie had some really awesome points about humans in it. 

For the more clean food eating ---There is Food Inc.  Skinny B!tch was a great book but a little bit heavy on the vegan lifestyle.  For a more level headed and scientific look at how to eat right - YOU on a Diet is also great.

I try and focus a lot on what I can do to help out this place we call home.  It's the only place we've got and it is irresponsible to not at least try to be better. 

Just my 2 cents.

Oh and go see DisneyNature's Oceans this this weekend!  Disney is donating a portion of the first weeks proceeds to save the coral reef.
