Earth Day

What does Earth Day mean to you?  April 22 is a day to inspire appreciation and awareness for Earth’s environment.  While raising awareness is important, action has, and always will, speak 1,000 words.

So what can you do to show your appreciation for the world?  Installing solar panels on your home as a alternative energy source out of budget even if it will save you money in the long run?  Already recycling your glass, plastic and cardboard?  What about paperboard?  That is what your cereal boxes, food boxes and other household products are packaged in.  Does your recycling center take them?  Some do, but there are many communities that do not.

What if you needed a journal and had a choice between one made from recycled paper that you can pick up from your local office supply store and one that was fabulously upcycled from that paperboard you do not know what to do with to keep it out of landfills?

I found this green minded, creative and super friendly seller on Etsy.  She welcomes your empty cereal boxes and other fun paperboard and card board food cartons.  Album covers, VHS covers…..any of them that are in good condition.  Then you get a 30% discount off of your purchase from her shop.  And let me tell you, there are some really cool note books and journals for sale.  Check out some of her work and then head on over to her shop.  If you need a journal, then this does count as taking action to make our Earth a greener place. Visit her store on Etsy, Peace Love Vineyard, to check out her current selection.  You are sure to find something that will make you and our Earth feel good!
