I am really happy that people are spending more time thinking about the environment and preserving our natural resources. I am also happy that people are thinking about living more simply, saving money and using less. All little steps that can make a big difference in your own life and the life of the planet. I know I try to be more aware of what I do and the impact it makes in my world and yours. When I was little we were taught to try to leave things a little better than the way we found it. I still try to live this way. When we go to the park we pick up some trash small stuff like that. I like to think that it makes a difference.
In 2008 I decided that I would stop making a personal new years resolution and make one to improve my life and the earth at the same time. My resolution that year was to reduce the use of paper and plastic products for lunch. I took a set of silverware, a new cup, and my own placemat and cloth napkin to work. I also tried to reduce my use of plastic wrap by reusing as much as I could. I still do that at work and encourage others to do the same. In 2009 I decided to go plastic bag free. N8 bought me three reusable rip stop nylon bags that fold into small pouches. I am proud of all my plastic bag free shopping trips. I also try to give out totes and pouches to people when I give them stuff so that they can reuse them. The thing is do what you can no matter how small to improve your life and the others. It is common courtesy and will clean up the earth and spread some good karma and really aren’t both things wonderful?
Check out how much the princess loves her bunny nugget and a squirrel snapped from the new second story porch!
Oh and one thing that make recycling fun is my hands free recycling bin. Thanks Mom.
Just so you know where you are at!
The waiting room. It was nice they gave us bottled water (Evian classy) and magazines. I got the most recent Living and an older Blueprint. 
We got to watch clips of the show and use the bathroom. It wasn't really that fancy inside the building just black and white and very industrial.
A blurry shot of Joey telling jokes and teaching us how to clap for Martha.
The set is awesome. It is so much bigger than it looks on tv. You can see the kitchen, the main area, the craft area and the potting shed. The fancy people sat on the floor. We were in the second to the top row. I was nicer our view wasn't blocked by the cameras.
Boy this is a horrible picture but we had to hurry up and take the photo. We weren't supposed to leave our seats but my mom is a rebel and took the photo.
For some reason this really excited me. I saw Martha's blue mixer. I see it on the show all the time and it was really crazy to see it. I was stoked about the show and kept saying oh and I saw Martha's mixer.
Martha taking questions from the audience. She looked great and was very professional. She had the directors from Disney Earth, Robert Kennedy Jr. and the chick from Green the Ghetto. Here hair was sticking up because she gave her an apron and she took it off during the break. The lipgloss and lint roller girl miss it I guess. 
My cousin took this shot for me using the zoom. Overall it was so much fun to see the show and see Martha. I didn't get my book signed but I did get some good earth day goodies. Martha you rock! All in all a super awesome earth day!
