Seasonal Celebration Sunday #10

The Seasonal Celebration Linky Party

"Seasonal Celebration"

 

 ”Treat the Earth well. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our children.”

An old Native American saying that sprung to mind yesterday, as people all over the world marked Earth Day. We have a duty to ensure our beautiful, extraordinary planet is cared for. With such pressing issues as pollution, energy, sustainability, conservation and climate becoming of increasing concern the world over, it’s down to every one of us to do their part in making sure our beautiful Earth thrives — and survives.

I really enjoyed reading your posts this week as always and I love the fact that they’re so varied, from Jill’s @Real Food Forager’s Get Grounded to Brenna’s @ Almost all the Truth’s Green Your Clean: Non-Toxic Alternatives {Part 2} such super posts.

    Thanks for hosting!!

    This week I’ve posted on the dangers of disposable diapers for International Real Diaper Week and the “Great Cloth Diaper Change” World Record Competition, which begins April 16, 2012.

    Did you know that even “eco-friendly” disposables can cause major health and environmental problems, or that it’s pretty easy to learn to raise your baby without using any diapers at all?
