Trying to Make a Differerence

I was one of those people that wasn't AWARE of all of the plastics and throw-aways that I used until my daughter started educating me on recycling.  It took a long time of listening to her and realizing that what she was saying was impacting our EARTH.  But little by little I took her advice and I tried reusing, recycling, regifting and reinventing ways to not WASTE things.
As time went on I didn't need to be reminded....it had sunk in....I was on my own....and I loved it!  Now I make a conscious decision every time I buy something whether or not it will impact our EARTH.  I always take my reusable bags to the grocery store and I've even purchased reusable produce bags that I love!
As I was talking with Kate today, I realized that most people aren't AWARE of how much they throw away that is destroying our EARTH.  We all need to be educated more.  The grocery stores and T.V.  Ads brainwash us into thinking we need more and more and WE DON'T!!!!!!!!
What did we do before all of this stuff was put out there?  We survived and we were happy.  Now there is so much stuff out there to clutter up our lives....take up our time.....and even make us fat!
I feel good now.....it wasn't hard at all.....it's just being AWARE.  Take time to be AWARE, just as you take time to breathe.  Slow down in life.  Pay attention to our beautiful EARTH and what we are all doing to destroy it.  We can all keep it so beautiful if we just become a little more AWARE:)
