I've just been to the mall to do my Easter Shopping and have caught the Spring Fever.

Spring Fever for me is craving greenery. I then have to surround myself with plants and seeds to start my garden. I just bought chive and beautiful velvet sunflower seeds. 

I can't wait to plant them. The birds love sunflowers and my son will love watching them grow as well.

I just had the opportunity to a viewing of Sharkwater by Canadian film writer and film-maker Rob Stewart.

This documentary is an eye-opener. Everyone should see it!

We need to boycott the meaningless hunting of shark for their fins.

Open for discussion.....

Lights on... Lights off...

I've recently noticed my family members leaving lights on in rooms that are not in use.

It is so simple to just flick the switch on the way out of the room. So why can't they remember? I think of the money savings and that is all I need to do to flick the switch on the way out of a room. 

Are you and/or your family members in the same situation. Let me know how you combat this "burning issue".

Thanks

Hey there,

Have you seen Tide's Cold Water Tide commercial. The commercial discusses the fact that many of us use hot or warm water to wash our clothing. This uses more energy, is more expensive and isn't even necessary. Spread the word- Clothes can be cleaned in cold water! Just ask Tide.

Here in Canada we have a composting program where we compost organic waste. We use a large plastic green cart to store organic waste outdoors and a small plastic green box to transport organic waste to the large green cart each day. The contents of the green cart are picked up by a compost truck every two weeks in the winter and every week in the summer. All organic wastes are transported to a processing facility where they are processed and composted.

Composting can become a second nature process in a household with time. It is possible to even enjoy if a personal composter is used for creating ones own gardening compost.

Please visit The Halifax Regional Municipality, "Naturally Green" website for more information on composting and green carts.
