NY – I am passionate about living a green, simple and abundant life, and every Earth Day I try to find my inspiration in nature.  This year I’m all about the water, and there’s certainly plenty to be found around the island of New York City!  I hope you will share my inspiration this Earth Day and feel the “WOW — I love NYC!” with these water inspired ideas!

10. Carry a Reusable Bag Just say “no” to single-use bags!  It doesn’t matter if you’re buying a new dress or picking out fresh produce at the Farmers’ Market – ask yourself “Can I reuse it, recycle it or is it just trash?” Less than 2% of plastic shopping bags actually get recycled.
