Proud Mama

Last week I went to an Award Ceremony where my oldest daughter received an award for an environmental essay she wrote. Her school had participated in the writing competition, and she was one of the winners. I was moved to tears when she received the award from the county politicians! I am so proud of her. She cares deeply about the environment, and we often discuss ways to help save energy and reduce waste. She advocates for little every day things anybody can do, like taking your own bag to a store, washing only full loads of laundry or dishes, hanging clothes to dry, using green cleaning products, etc. With kids like her we parents are more motivated too to do everything we can in our daily lives to save the environment. ❤
