Likes:I love discovering what I can do to help the environment! There are so many options for green and organic products, that it's hard not to try them. Let's explore ways to save the environment together and make planet earth a safe, healthy place to live!
Earth Day is here and it’s time to honor Mother Earth by
living in an eco-friendly way!With the
“green” movement on the rise, there are plenty of eco-friendly products you can
go out and buy these days; but there are also lots of fun projects to do at home
using recycled materials!Green living
expert and architect Michelle Kaufmann offers some fun do-it-yourself projects
on her blog that can get us all in the Earth Day spirit!
Waterwall
This project is perfect for the pragmatist who appreciates
the beautiful things in life. Learn how to create a “wall” of water bottles
that drastically reduces heat gain within your home and cuts your need for
artificial cooling systems during warmer months. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy
a naturally comfortable temperature, lower energy costs
AND the sunbeams reflecting through the water that dance across your walls.
This is the perfect Earth Day project for the animal lover
meets treehugger; or anyone with a ton of disposable chopsticks lying around.
We’ll show you how to turn those old (hopefully washed!) chopsticks into
beautiful birdfeeders that are also eco-friendly since you’ll be reusing
materials that would otherwise just get tossed out.
When people call you a treehugger, are they speaking
literally? You don’t need to feel ashamed to admit it - we know why you’re out
there giving that tree in your backyard a big squeeze: you planted it and
you’re darn proud! Well, we love you for that. Your devotion to all things
sustainable as well as the act of gardening combine to make yours the greenest
thumb around town. If that’s true for you, then you’re going to love this
project. We’ll show you how to make beautiful and plantable paper that you can
then turn into thoughtful Earth Day cards for all your friends and family!
Pick up these products that some of our favorite Divas love!
