I love that picture! We really need to do a better job about recycling, also buying less plastics. I am very happy that my girls are going to grow up, and know that homebirth is totally normal and healthy. .-= Darcel´s last blog ..Co-sleeping Essay Contest. =-.

Very true. Recycling is good but not wasting is better- not using what you don't need! It still takes energy and resources to process all that recycling, plus sorting it out. .-= the Grumbles´s last blog ..greener pastures =-.

Excellent post! I hadn't quite thought of homebirth in that way before. Hurray for homebirth! .-= NavelgazingBajan´s last blog ..HIV is a Women’s Issue =-.

You’re bang-on about recycling. It has its place and it is important, but it is NOT a license to just keep on consuming.

I think that our parents shared some common values. Mine never lived in the North, but they were hippies with parents who grew up on the prairies during the Depression, and it shaped their lifestyle, for sure. They just lived, and while I wouldn’t call them environmentalists their rejection of the mainstream and consumerism definitely shaped me.

That is amazing. I have been dreaming and waiting for the day that my husband and I can experience our own home birth. We had our first child in a birthing center and realized then that everything that we needed that night was right in a kit and we knew then that we could have saved the trip and just stayed at home. Love that your parents had the less is more way of thinking. I hope to truly live like that one day. I am making baby steps toward decluttering our families unecessary junk that we have accumelated throughout the years. .-= Philippa´s last blog ..Natural Parenting Carnival: Vintage Green =-.

Bravo! You make such a good point about recycling. I've recently stopped buying items that come in plastic that can also come in a cardboard box (like laundry detergent) for this very reason. In fact, plastic is on its way out of our house in a big way these days. .-= Melodie´s last blog ..Nachos and Guacamole =-.
