Happy Earth Day

There are still a few more hours left in Earth Day and although mother nature has been pretty tough on the east coast this year I'd still like to celebrate, after all she is giving us some summer weather this weekend! Although I've always been pro-mass transit, pro-walking and pro-recycling, this past year I've made more of an effort and started using more organic and earth friendly products, including using blankets in my guinea pigs cage over disposable bedding. I've also been a vegetarian for more than a decade and for the second time in my life I'm dating a vegan, so I suppose that has rubbed off on me and made me see some of my harsh ways. I gave up my car when I moved from California to New York last year and I will buy a hybrid if I should ever need to buy a car again. I feel like any little bit I can do for this world is worth it, although I don't have children yet, I hope to one day, and I hope to leave them a healthy world to live in.
