One Last Earth Month Hurrah!

Wow, can you even believe that this month is over? Just wanted to pay homage to some other earth-friendly products that are really worth looking into if you haven't yet tried them.

Here I am demonstrating the Brita Water Pitcher (don't laugh! I hate being in front of the camera!) on a video I was asked by Walmart to submit to their Walmart Earth Day You Tube Channel. Walmart had sent me a handful of products to check out and the Brita was one of them. Take a look:

I can honestly say that by using the Brita, we have totally rid ourselves of our water bottle habit, which not only cost our earth, but cost us dearly as well, $24 - $30 a month to be more exact! Yes, we have to buy filters, but a $7 - $9 filter every 3 months or so is a lot cheaper than what we were spending on water bottles.



Clorox Green Works products are awesome, I've been using them ever since they came out about a year ago. With a kid in the house who has bad allergies and asthmatic tendancies, I like to keep the air in my home as clean as possible, and by using natural cleaners, at least I know that I'm not filling my house with fumes that might further damage my child's lungs. They work really well....I've never felt like I've compromised by purchasing these products. I am looking forward to a future formula that has antibacterial properties!

Love candles but hate the black smoke they emit while burning? Hate the cost of the cleaner burning soy candles? Or, just wonder if they're going to be worth the price? Glade has recently introduced their new line of candles called "The Fragrance Collection" of which the candles are soy based. Three candles out of the collection (shown here) are at least 92% natural and are clearly advertised as such right on the label.
The fragrance is deeeeevine! My girls said they actually smell juicy, if that's at all possible?!


Hope this month was as informative for you as it was for me. I learned a lot and have been able to incorporate some more great ideas into our family's 'green routine'. It will be interesting to know how we will have progressed when Earth Day 2010 comes around!

Thanks for stopping by :)
