Beach Clean Up Day

There is likely an organized beach clean up on the island today, but my kind neighbors also brought trash bags along for their walk this morning to do their part. 

The Earth Day events are important, and hit home. This past year, I had the opportunity to travel abroad. The French, for instance, expect you to bring your own grocery bags to the supermarket.  And many of their light switches are on timers.  In Northern Ireland, the heat was set to go on just twice a day; and water saving front loading washers are the norm. 

As Americians, we should be leading the efforts to conserve energy and minimize our waste.  And, it’s a great excuse to be frugal!
