Happy 5K!!

Hey Readers and Friends!!

You've all just made my life sooo happy. I set out this blog journey with a goal to hit 5k by the time I ended my year. I've officially reached 5k with 8 days to spare. :) Thank you so much for reading. Don't quit now, because I'm not. I've got adventures to come, and I want you all to join me on it. 


This calls for celebration, and I'm starting by cranking up the Jimmy Buffet Pandora and finishing homework (yeahhhh... I can't do much celebrating while I've got this pesky list of homework.) 


Environmental Fun Fact of the day: 
About 1% of landfill space in the US is taken up by disposable diapers. 
Less fun environmental fact:
Disposable diapers take about 500 years to decompose. 


Here's a question for you...


Would switching to reusable diapers really make less of an impact? 


Think of the different things that go into re-using them:  
Water
Soap


They seem like small things.. but how many diapers do babies and toddlers go through in a day? How many times would you have to be washing them? How much water and soap would that consume? Don't forget that water is one of the most important natural resources the earth has to offer us. 


Diapers. Who knew? 

Happy 5K =] 
Always Yours,

H.Eilene
