Uh Oh ... Earth Day Hangover ...

No ... not the wine induced kind.  This time, it is about information and I am trying to sort through all the green living ideas that were tossed about yesterday.  
Now in it’s 40th year, Earth Day is coming into it’s own.  Earth Day is about sustainable living, reducing our impact, thinking about our choices and committing to change. 
Here are some things, big and small, that people suggested as ways to leave a lighter footprint ...
Share seeds and plugs from your garden. ... plant them once you’ve been shared with!
Pick up trash that you didn’t actually create.
Make a soup out of almost overdue leftovers.
Unplug your electrical things when you’re not using them.
Don’t step on worms and spiders.
Park your big fancy truck and walk - at least once a week.
Drink real water instead of the plastic bottled kind.
Buy real stuff instead of the plastic oil based kind.
Live a Life Less Plastic.  http://lifelessplastic.blogspot.com/.
Eat food that’s in season
Shop at local stores 
...and here’s my submission ... 
Buy used furniture and re-home yours’ at my consignment furniture shop!
Whatever it is that wiggles your “green” bean, come up with a plan and do it for a year.  It will make you feel good!
If you want to buy something used ... here is a snapshot of my selection!!
