I can't believe it's the end. Yep, earth day has come and gone and our One Small Change intiative is passing by with it. I love blogland and participating in all of the various activities that blogging friends inspire. I had no idea that the One Small Change experiment of changing one small thing each month to save the planet would become a lifestyle.

I must admit that I've always been a very eco conscious person but One Small Change has taken the veil off of a philosophy and put tools,motion, and reflection in the hearts and minds of my family. It is so easy to assume that because I believe something and live it or my husband believes something and puts into practice does not always mean that our children understand it or have gone through the reasoning to make it their own.

Over the last four months we have:

• Stopped using plastic bags.
• 
   
    
• Established Meet What You Eat. An intro course for our children about where their food comes from.
• 
• Planted 75 trees to accomodate our oxygen needs for the next year.
• 
• And converted to cloth napkins
• 

All in all it's been a wonderful four months. Much thanks to Suzy and her family for starting this. We are continuing on with our monthly One Small Changes. Each person in the family is now forging their own path into global change.

While visiting Kendra's yesterday, I noticed that she has a very important petition going on.

"from food democracy now: labeling laws may prevent gmo foods from being labeled as such worldwide, sign here to voice your concern. we have the right to know what is in our food! see here for just one study on the risks of gmo foods. "

Thank you dear friends for inspiring me and my family over the last four months. Can you believe all of the beautiful changes that have gone on and how our planet is being positively affected? Great Job Everybody!
