• Recycle those soda cans.
• Walk more to places you have to go.
• Line dry you clothes.
• Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth.
• Turn off the lights when not using them.

Hello May! How you doing?  Man this year is flying by! It will be 2014 before you know it. What do you have planned for this weekend? Anything special and green for Cinco de Mayo? Here’s a little history lesson for you.

Contrary to what many people think, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day. The holiday commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War.  This particular holiday is mostly celebrated in the United States as a celebration of Mexican culture.

Make your Cinco de Mayo celebration a green on by:

• sending your invites via email,
• going local with your menu,
• serving your food on reusable plates,
• having a designated recycling bin to encourage your guest to recycle, and
• encourage your guests to carpool to your shindig.

And, also, happy May Day to you! Click here for more on this spring holiday.

It’s Wednesday! We can’t believe we are halfway through the workweek. This week is just flying by. Any plans for celebrating Earth Day? This year, honor Mother Nature by making a greener effort in your daily routine.

• Leave the car at home and find an alternative mode of transpiration. Bike, carpool, ride the bus, bust out the roller skates, the options are endless!
• Plant something. Pretty up your space with a vegetable garden.
• Cook a special Earth Day meal. Use organic foods and make your food energy efficient. Try this no-cook cucumber soap. Delicious!
• Visit your local recycling center. You know those plastic water bottles you chunked in the trash? Dig them out and recycle them.

Have a green and happy Earth Day!
