April is knocking on our door, blooming wildly and budding out all around us, so is Earth Day! And I'm honoring that day with a giveaway, a green cleaning giveaway! Earth day should be everyday, we take advantage of our planet and treat it so badly at times. Just try to imagine our world without flowers, trees and birds....this makes me sad to even think of such a day. But, it could happen....one day. God forgive us!
As a gardener, bird watcher and nature lover, this matters to me, ALOT! I grow organicly, no pesticles here. I ban products like Roundup and other chemicals that only do harm to our planet. Monsanto sucks! And that's enough from my potty mouth! We got to take a stand for something, or not stand at all! I prefer to stand up for our planet, I want my grandchildren to enjoy the great outdoors as they were intended.
Ok, stepping down from my soapbox and back to the giveaway, I have a brand new copy of a wonderful little book, "The Naturally Clean Home" that I will be gifting it to one lucky reader, this book is a great handbook for cleaning your home without chemicals and using natural products, like herbs! A wonderful resource for the beginner or pro. Just leave me a comment here on how you celebrate Earth Day, do you have a annual ritual or a new way to save mother earth? Inspire us, you have till April 22, Earth Day to get your comments posted and shared. Let's make a difference and give back to our great planet!
We all should do everything we can to protect the planet God made for us. I try to recycle and re-use everything I can.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I recycle and compost all that I can. I reuse paper and plastic.
ReplyDeleteI would love to put in for give away! Sounds like a wonderful book.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that there are so many out there who are interested in "going green". For quite sometime, We have been trying to live in such a way that we only leave a very small footprint on this beautiful planet. We love to garden, and make our own fertilizer, using natural products. I try to do the same in my home. Thanks for offering this great book!
Blessings,
Barb
To tell the truth, I've never celebrated Earth Day. To me, every day is an earth day. Lowell got his Master Gardener status this spring. I hope to have some wonderful veggies from the earth in a few months.

Firstly, Monsanto does indeed suck! I could not believe how many of our seed companies were purchased by them. I get heirloom tomato plants from a neighbor, no GMO.
ReplyDeleteOn Earth Day I really do smell the roses and "listen" to mother nature. I try do that every day. I make my cleaning products which also suck, so I hope I win your Giveaway!!
I would love to be included in your giveaway. I am trying really hard to get rid of of the chemical cleaners and such in our house so this would come just in time.
ReplyDeleteI dont really have anything special I do for earth day, I just thank the good Lord everyday for such a beautiful world he has given us.
Blessings,Karen/ Ga. Girl
Our workplace tries to coordinate highway clean-up in town with Earth Day. I also recycle everything possible and try to find new uses for things instead of throwing them out. I'd love to win a copy of this book!

I just came across your blog and I would love to enter your giveaway! I garden organicly and use no pesticides, I don't use chemicals in my *house blessing* either ~ just lots of hot water, vinegar and hydrogen peroxide and natural soap. (I have Ellen Sandbeck's Organic Housekeeping Book that I refer to) I would love to have *The Naturally Clean Home* to add to my library!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity with your giveaway!
Blessings!
Oops! I forgot to say ~ I started attending a local garden tour for Earth Day and a Master Gardeners open demonstration garden. What fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. I had forgotten all about Earth day. When I worked for a major Computer manufactuer we celebrated Earth day. We should all do our part for our "Great Earth". And to let you know in case you don't see it right away, My blog background is from:

There is a huge list of other blog backgrounds, it's a great source.
Have a good April Fools day!

I didn't know of Earth Day... but wished I did sooner. In my own way I have been doing more and more for the earth than I had in the past, only because I am getting wiser about these things. I would love a chance in your give-away, please. Thank You!
ReplyDeleteThis is not only our planet to protect but our children's & grandchildren's. It could go on for a long time or we could ruin it! I choose to protect it! I hope we all do our best to keep it alive & well!
ReplyDeleteHi, great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWe celebrate Earth Day by participating in the turning off the power for an hour. Of course, we try to be low consumers of electricity all of the time by being responsible with our usage. We also recycle, grow our own veggies and buy in bulk. I hang dry our laundry. There are lots of ways to care for the planet. The more we do, the better it will be!
Well, we try our best to be "green" here. Recycle, reuse, refurbish. And if we can't use something we try to pass it along instead of throwing it out.
ReplyDeleteI also do what I can to keep our home as free from chemicals as possible, including our food.
Would love to be entered in your giveaway!
Sounds like a great book! I agree Earth Day should be everyday!!
ReplyDeleteI few years ago I taught a sewing class themed on "going green" that I designed a reusable shopping bag pattern for. I have since taught that class over & over again and made a ton of those bags! In one class the challenge was to only use "upcycled" fabrics and buttons ~ what a fun way to stop using those nasty plastic grocery bags and you always get comments at the store :)
Thanks for the Giveaway fun, Sue!♥

I would love to entered in your give away. We recycle everything we can, the chickens get all that we can give them and compost the rest. Grow our veggies/fruit and raise beef with no chemicals in the food. We don't give our horses anything that is not natural either.
ReplyDeleteLove your recipes. I am not a good cook or even like to much but love reading them and looking at your pictures. Thanks,.
Every year the kids and I participate in our local clean up day. We go to parks and roadsides and clean up all the litter we can find. The kids actually have fun trying to see how many bags they can fill. And it teaches us all not to litter.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what monsanto is? I get the part that it's bad though. lol
ReplyDeleteOh how I heart you girl.
:)
You have me wanting to go open up my herb book again after reading you.
We always go for a nature walk and picnic- and just enjoy nature. I think teaching kids to love nature is so important- and EarthDay is a great oppotunity to teach them by we recycle, use cloth bags, etc
