Happy Earth Day

A few little things I'm happy about on Earth Day:

I'm happy that reusable bags are all the rage and that grocery stores are starting to give them away for free.

I'm happy that I can buy store brand organic products for much less than national brand organics. I'm not so happy when only the wealthy can afford to be green.

I'm happy that my Target brand cereal box has been revamped to include 50% post-consumer recycled content and that they've done away with the inner bag all together. Hooray for store brands taking the lead!

I'm happy that the combination of higher diaper prices and killer diaper deals has meant you can get greener disposables like Seventh Generation for the same price as Cruisers or Huggies Supreme.

I'm happy about all the press cloth diapering has gotten this year and that it's easier and more appealing than ever to make the switch. I love cloth diapering Makenlee and she is quite stylish in her dipes. She is even a model for a CD company and they used her shots for their website and press. Who is cuter the dipe or her? HMM. I am biased.

I'm happy that I use mostly all-natural, biodegradable cleaning products. No more toxins in my home.

I'm happy that I am using more glass storage containers rather then plastic.

I'm happy Makenlee does not drink from a bottle and that I don't have to worry about BPA. I am on the verge of getting rid of the plastic sippy cups too.

What are you happy about today?
