    When I was having a conversation with a non-environmentalist one time, one of the main things they pointed out was how it would be impossible to be eco-friendly and raise a baby.

    Did you know that the Amazon Rainforest is known as the “lungs” of our earth? It is still burning, and this will cause a shift in our efforts to fight climate change.

  • Would You Visit a Plastic-Filled Ocean?

    It is predicted that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Many pounds of trash enter the ocean every day, and one way we can help that problem is to reduce our consumption of plastic.  Unfortunately, plastic is used as packaging for so many items.
