Helping the Earth Can Feel Very Rewarding

For a large part of my adult life, I never understood just how our everyday actions impacted the earth. However, I did take steps to save water and energy around the house to keep our bills low and even invested in solar panels cut our electricity bill down. One day, I encountered an environmental website and ended up spending hours reading it. During those few hours, my mindset changed completely. I immediately felt great learning that the steps we had taken to save energy around the house were helping the earth, as well. I was inspired to make other changes to my family's lifestyle, and I now teach my kids about protecting the environment. I know there are others out there who have little time to spare but need tips on helping the environment, so I plan to post many tips on how to do it on my new blog!
