Small Changes Can Make a BIG Impact AND Scott Naturals Kit Giveaway

Thanks to Scott Naturals and TheMotherhood, our family was given the opportunity to participate in the Scott Naturals. 4 Week Test Drive Challenge. We were sent their hybrid paper products: paper towels, facial tissue, napkins and flushable moist wipes...all made with recycled fiber. This is our final week and are still incredibly impressed with how well Scott Naturals products work.
Want to test out Scott Naturals products? They are challenging ALL Americans to pledge to go green. Between April 4 and September 30, anyone can go www.ScottBrand.com/Naturals/ and pledge to participate in the Scott Naturals 4-Week Challenge themselves!

As I have mentioned previously, Scott Naturals is also partnering with the National Wildlife Federation. For every unique click-thru from this link http://www.ScottBrand.com/4WeekTestDrive, Scott Naturals will donate $1 (up to $25,000 total) to the National Wildlife Federation!! Be sure to click-thru if you haven't, it's for a great cause and they'd love to hit the 25,000 mark!!

Earth Month is always a great time for people to reflect on the green choices they are making and make goals for new ways they can help the environment even more. As I reevaluated the green choices my family makes, I realized we could be much better about using reusable bags instead of plastic grocery bags. Although we try, we are not always the best at remembering them when we leave the house. I want to help decrease the number of plastic bags thrown away, which is why this is one of our new goals....to use reusable bags whenever possible!

This especially hit me when I thought about the impact my family could have on making this simple change. For example, we go to the grocery store a minimum of 1 time per week. Each time (when we forget our reusable bags) we bring home approximately 5 bags. In one year that adds up to 260 plastic bags, give or take. Yikes! That's A LOT of plastic bags (and that's just an estimated minimum!)

When I think about what an impact every person and/or family can make, it really amazes me. Just making simple changes like switching to reusable bags, walking instead of driving all the time, or bringing reusable mugs to Starbucks...they're all small ways we can help our environment.

Even though Earth Month is officially over, I would encourage all families to think about ways they can live more green. Even simple changes can make such a big difference!
