Happy Earth Day!

There are so many awesome ways to take care of our Earth these days, from recycling to Hybrid cars. My favorite though is still to plant a tree, with help from a friend, of course.

So many of my story ideas have come from time spent staring out into the forest behind the house, day-dreaming about hero's and heroines. What would I do without my beautiful trees?

So in honor of Earth Day and this very cool blog tour, I'm giving away a cute little USB flash drive complete with handle and charm. ~my own attempt to save a tree~ The perfect size for our grand prize winner to carry with them their favorite earth friendly E books!

  1. Loved your post. I enjoyed the pictures. The one thing that I recycle the most is plastic bags. Seems like that is all the stores give you anymore.

  2. I also am enjoying the eye candy. I take my own bags when I shop most of the time. Already recycle and compost and have found some great rechargeable batteries to use in flashlights and remotes.

  3. Good morning Serena,
    I love the photos and the eye candy, I am a tree hugger myself. I have my car washed by a friend who owns a mobile detailing business. Have a good day. :)

  4. My favorite earth sving trick is reading e-books. I have a kindle and have about 65 books on it. That's just withing the last 9 months so think of the trees we all could save if we read more e-books.
    (I also like showering with my hubby to save water)

  6. Love the pictures. I try and recycle everything I can.
    I am trying to convince my husband we need to plant some trees around the house this spring!

  7. I live next to where I was born, with a swamp behind us. We keep the woods as close to nature as possible. Whenever I must move a tree I plant it in the woods and recycle. The woods keep us cool in the summer, we share this earth. I'm so blessed to be able to simply walk back in time whenever I go outside.

  11. Love your dream lumberjacks. I am a huge ebook reader, and can't believe just how much room I've got now that I read less paperbacks. When I do grab a paperback, I always donate it to my local library.

  12. Wondering if one of your Lumberjack's and I were to fall down together in the forest, would anyone here???
    I but ton's of E-books, Got to save the trees, and I tend to go behind everyone in my house turning of lights. I hope that helps the earth in some small way.

  14. Cathy M - Aren't those lovely lumberjacks ~sigh~ I agree, Ebooks are wonderful! You can save so many in such a small spot on the computer or a flash drive. :-) Library donations..cool way to recycle!!

    Babyblue22 - LOL...I love it, I'm thinking the answer is, just how vocal are you?? muaahahahTurning the lights off is an excellent way to save energy! WTG

  20. Wow Earth day has never been so sexy. ;) Great blog and what a great way for people to pay attention. So many of us don't think to recycle (although I have to say that my step-dad is recycle happy so we try to be on top of it best we can - for the environment and so we don't get that you know better lecture.)

    ReplyDelete
  21. With lumberjacks like that I would be falling for sure.LOL I recycle almost everything possible. I also recycle cloths and household items that we no longer need on freecycle.com. That way it helps the earth and other people as well.

  22. Trenae - LOL, "the lecture." I remember hearing "TL" many a time as well. ;-) Oh yeah, LSB authors know how to make Earth Day sexy! hehe

    Deb - hehe, falling for sure! Nice job on the recycling and thanks for the freecycle web address...that's a cool site!

  23. I wish I could say I'm great at doing my part to save the earth ...but I know I fall short. I'd like to think though that the fact that I do recycle whatever I can helps a little.
