Happy Earth Day! And the Winners Are...

Happy Earth Day everyone! We are excited to announce our three Earth Day Resolution winners. Overall the posts were incredibly thoughtful and doable. It really shows how little changes in our daily lives can add up to make a big impact. To us, everyday is Earth Day. It's all about smart and easy low impact choices.

Congratulations to the winners! Here are their posts:

Winner #1

I am going to get cloth napkins to reduce my paper towel usage, and actually remember to bring my reusable grocery bags to the store!

Winner #2

Already using reusable grocery bags, washing laundry with cold water, using less light and changed all our light bulbs, and some other things. I resolve to use less plastic (water bottles especially) and grow more of my own food.

Winner #3

I'm going to try to compost more of my household waste, and buy a clothesline for drying clothes, since there is no such thing as an Energy Star rated clothes dryer. I'm also going to make more beverages at home (iced tea, Crystal lite, etc) instead of buying pre-made drinks which use more plastic in order to reduce my waste.

Most clothes dryers use about the same amount of energy as each other, and they're one of the most energy consuming appliances in one's house, after the furnace and water heater.

Whether you were a winner or not, stick with your Earth Day Resolutions. We look forward to starting and sticking with our own!

Earth Day Resolution - Post Yours + Enter to Win Free dropps!

Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd. We were thinking it would be fun to come up with Earth Day Resolutions, just like New Years Resolutions, but focused on the planet.

Small changes can make a big impact. Since we are all about smart and easy ways to go green, we wanted to hear what small, but important lifestyle changes you are willing to make this Earth Day.

Will you make a promise to change all of your light bulbs, eat locally grown produce, use more public transportation, or vow to stop buying bottled water? What is your Earth Day Resolution? Your ideas can be practical or zany. We want to know what you are thinking. Post your resolutions!

Three Earth Day Resolution winners will receive a free 3-month supply of dropps in either fresh scent or scent + dye free. Winners will be chosen at random, but must include a thoughtful resolution. Posts will be accepted until April 7th. Be sure to include an email address in your comment or have it accessible in your profile. All prizes must be claimed within three days of the first email notifying the winner. After three days, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner will be selected.

The three winning resolution ideas will be posted on Earth Day.
