Organic cotton, while it seems like a really fantastic eco-option for your clothing, may not be as environmentally friendly as you think.  While organic cotton is wonderful for it’s lack of pesticides and can offer a really soft, silky feel, it still uses a lot of water to grow properly, so it doesn’t quite qualify as sustainable.  The good thing is that there are many new growing and watering techniques being used to help organic cotton become more sustainable. 

There is a new trend going on these days for people to become more eco-friendly.  Many people are taking steps to help reduce their carbon footprint and reduce their effects on the environment.  Families all over the world are making sure to recycle, use less water and be conscientious of where their products come from before they buy, making sure to purchase produce and other goods from closer facilities, which reduces the amount of fuel needed to ship the goods to the store where you buy them. 

How many years have you let Earth Day go by without doing something to celebrate it?  It seems that for many of us, Earth Day has been around since we were children and, while many people still plant a tree every couple of years, many more do nothing for Earth Day, which is sad, since there are so many inexpensive Earth Day celebrations for you and your family that are inexpensive and fun.

With the dipping economy and companies working on flex-schedules and working to do cutbacks, you might want to talk to your boss to see if you can start working from home.  If you do get to work from home, then you’re going to need to have a home office, so if you’re working on building a home office for your current job, or branching out on your own, consider making an eco-friendly home office.
