A Few Thoughts for Earth Day 2008

What should we be doing on Earth Day? I was going to share a list of things to do for Earth Day but, I think that maybe it's about doing less. Slowing down. Smelling the roses. Unplugging. Watching the sunset. So, if you don't get the chance to go out and plant a tree or pick up litter on your street, just take a moment to appreciate the skies above or the grass beneath your feet.

Take the Think Outside the Bottle Pledge!

Hopefully most people already know that most bottled water including Dasani, Aquafina & Pure Life are no better, cleaner or safer than tap water. In fact, they are tap water. It seems ridiculous that we actually pay to buy back tap water. If we stop buying bottled water we can save money. If we stop buying bottled water we can reduce petroleum needed to manufacture and transport bottled water. If we stop buying bottled water we can reduce landfill waste. I'm just sayin'.

The link below is filled with great information & resources to help you kick the plastic water bottle and BYOB - Bring Your Own Bottle. I took the pledge today, it's quick and painless. Check it out and tell your friends. Thanks!

Unexpected Benefits from Organic Cat Food

I've tried several different cat foods/formulas over the years - adult, senior cats, indoor formula and the "naturals" in an effort to keep hairballs a.k.a. "yaks" to a minimum. We finally made the switch to an organic cat food. It's made from organic brown rice, peas, carrots and has no corn or wheat. Yes, it's a bit more expensive, but totally worth it.

Not only did my cats love the taste, but they have regained some of their playfulness that tends to lessen with age (they are 9 and 14 years old). The oldest cat, Lucy used to "get sick" on a pretty regular basis. She now only produces the occasional hairball. I am absolutely thrilled for my cats who are much happier and there's less cleanup for me!
