    Simple Ways to Reuse Old T-shirts

    January 20, 2019 - By Emma May

    Everyone is going crazy for Marie Kondo’s new show Tidying Up. The wardrobe purge is hitting nearly everywhere. While Marie Kondo encourages donating the things you decide do not bring you joy but one thing people don’t realize is that when you donate junk it just hurts the economy in 3rd world countries where the junk that can not be sold is shipped of to leaving local textiles makers in competition with junk that is cheaper.

    How Going Green will Save you Money

    May 23, 2018 - By Emma May

    When I told my husband I wanted to go green with our home and family I got a couple odd looks from him.

One thing I never expected when we started this journey is that we would save money and with every simple step we take. We discovered how going green can really save you money. Start small and work up…

    Reusable Produce Bags

    April 22, 2018 - By Emma May

    When it comes to thing that creates a lot of unnecessary waste produce bags fall pretty high on the list. These flimsy plastic bags are single use and not recyclable in most areas. These produce bags can really get out of hand when you have a large family and go through produce quickly. Plastic works it’s way into our oceans where wildlife takes a hit. Unsuspecting hungry sea animals eat our plastic waste thinking it is a floating sea animal. We have been working hard to reduce our plastic waste with small changes as a family. Reusable produce bags towards a waste-free kitchen. …

    April 8, 2018 - By Emma May

    When you have a baby your carbon footprint skyrockets. There is really no way around it but with a few simple steps, you can reduce your impact. One of the biggest things you can do to go green with your baby is to cloth diaper. The biggest waste with babies and young children around the world is disposable diapers. They will not break down within your child’s lifetime… In fact, a diaper takes 500 years to break down in a landfill. I feel so guilty about the number of diapers we tossed out with our first baby.
