Everyone's Earth: Make OHMazing™ Choices

Me and my youngest daughter Andersen
when she was 18 months.

Earlier this week I reflected on my experiences with International Peace Day. Today I wish to expand on that and share ideas I have encountered about OHMazing™ Choices we can make every day to make the world a healthier, more peaceful place.

Share. Beth Buczynski offers common-sensical suggestions for sharing cothing, books and media, home, car and energy. "If we want to create a more sustainable life, there are plenty of sharing services and online communities that can help us reduce waste, make a little money, and reconnect with what’s really important: people," Beth says.

Recycle. While this is not new, Earth911.com offers insight into materials and categories we might overlook including automotive and construction items.

Selecting foods that come straight from the Earth
is an OHMazing™ choice.

Take Action. 50 Ways to Help the Planet is an easy, quick resource to remind us of daily doses for making a difference. Once of my personal favorites is the reminder to Rethink Bottled Water. "Nearly 90% of plastic water bottles are not recycled, instead taking thousands of years to decompose. Buy a reusable container and fill it with tap water, a great choice for the environment, your wallet, and possibly your health. The EPA's standards for tap water are more stringent than the FDA's standards for bottled water," the site reports.
