Earth Day 2016 is here! This day is always a great reminder to take care of our home aka Earth. Everyday we recycle and do the usual day to day tasks. But, sometimes it's good to try something different and learn about other ways to help. Nancy in the gift shop likes to rake the white pine needles in her neighbors yard at their Autumn drop. She then uses them as mulch in the flower beds. Also, making your own compost is a great way to be proactive!
Another great tip is recycling your clothes or buying items made from reusable materials. For example, one company (Mona B) in our gift shop is made from recycled tarps and tents. They have been previously used and would have been thrown away if the company did not re-use them. Now an old tent is a handbag! How cool! This brings new life to something old.
One employee can be quoted saying "Our earth, there's no backup plan. Plant a tree, build a bird house, green it up!" Doesn't that just say it all.

Love Your Mother Earth!
