    A Greener Planet Starts at Home

    Though many people dispute their existence, climate change and global warming are real, and we should be concerned. Major effects of climate change and global warming are more frequent and extreme storm systems, hotter temperatures worldwide, and drought. As individuals, can we make changes in our day-to-day lives that will slow the process or even reverse it? Absolutely! A greener planet starts at home. A greener planet is achievable when we all contribute. Let’s get inspired by some eco-friendly successes from around the world as we work towards a greener planet.

    Say No to Plastic, Create a Plastic-Free Bathroom

    In honor of Plastic Free July, I and fellow bloggers joined together to bring you this post on how to pursue a plastic-free bathroom. Take a minute, go to your bathroom, and look around.

More than likely your eyes will fall on plastic toothbrushes, plastic shampoo bottles, make-up in plastic tubes, plastic razors, etc. We surround ourselves each morning with plastic everywhere. Let's see how we can do better. It's really not hard and together, we can make the world a better place (and our bathroom too!)
