Celebrating Earth Day makes me stop and think about all the miraculous things about the world around us and things that I take for granted. I think it is important for each of us to live a more peaceful life by spending time outdoors and enjoying the beauty of the earth. This always helps me relax and it helps relieve stress.

One way we can help reduce our wear on the earth is by recycling items when we are done using them, recycle our trash and use earth friendly products. The best part of using earth friendly products like detergent, paper goods, dryer sheets etc. is that it is also better for our health . If you are concerned about cost, don't be, some of the discount grocery stores have natural products and they are priced comparable to other brands.
