Earth Day is coming. April 22nd. Keegen's birthday, too. Get ready to plant a tree or something. If i lived in Maryland i could almost plant my garden. BUT NOT HERE. I'll be waiting until friggin' MEMORIAL DAY.
One memorable Earth Day was when i was 15 or 16 and headed downtown with my sister and cousin (i think). We hung out with the masses on the Mall and listened to the Indigo Girls (when they were in their prime) and other random Earth Day-ee activities. It was much fun. Sadly, i also remember the LOADS and LOADS of litter strewn everywhere from the Earth Day revelers...
Anywho. The reason for this post is that while out grabbing a few things at WalMart (i know, TOTALLY NOT a great place to shop. I wasn't going to go there anymore but i'd rather not spend ALL my gas and it's the only place in town! AND they dropped their ridiculous lawsuit against that poor brain-damaged former employee. Seriously, people?!).
But I digress.
In the cleaning aisle i saw the new Green Works cleaners. I think it's awesome that "better for the environment" cleaners are more readily available and hope these work well, are truly enviro-friendly and catch on. It surprises me that Clorox is the mother company, but apparently they have some savvy marketing people who know to jump on the Go Green bandwagon and gain more customers. Personally, I'm so happy with my own homemade cleaners that i won't be buying any, but i'm curious to know if any of you try them and what you think.

ha! the residual debris is EXACTLY what i remember from that first earth day.
i'm curious about those "green works" products, too. i've avoided them BECAUSE of their CLOROX brand. but....??
My sister went to an Indigo Girls concert in their prime and said it was awesome!! I just might pick up some of those cleaners next shopping trip - it's great that they are so available!!
And did you see that Costco is carrying it?
Clorox bought Burt's Bees last year. The big question when that happened was which would influence the other. Hopefully this is a good sign, but I haven't actually seen the ingredient lists. I should Google that now.
Of course I prefer my homemade cleaners made by you! :) And did I mention that Matt was wearing my apron a few weeks ago? LOL
