in honor of earth day i will be upgrading my camelbak water bottle to the new Groove™ which has a built in water filter.

when people think of being green i think they automatically think of the extreme, a whole lifestyle change, and though that may be true for some it is not realistic for all. if we all do a few little things to change how we live, we will make a big difference, over the past year we have made two minor changes; we no longer buy disposable plastic water bottles and we use reusable grocery bags. these minor and painless changes work for matt and i, today in honor of earth day stop and think about two easy changes you can make that will have a BIG impact on our earth.

interesting facts.
