Beautiful is…. everything I see and capture with the lens!

and I mean when it comes to responsibility…

Yes, it’s me bloggin’ again. Who knows, I may keep it up! LOL Hard to believe I use to do it everyday. Anyway…

Responsibility is something everyone should have… however, some have a lot while others lack a lot. Do you always forgive? You should. Will you stop to help a complete stranger? I would. Did you teach this basic life principle to your kids? I am. “The more people think and talk about responsibility, the more the world becomes a better place” (quoted from Liberty Mutual). I want to be more responsible… and I want both of my children to be… and I challenge you to be, as well. Deal? Deal!

Do certain television commercials speak to you? I do not watch a lot of TV (can’t stand most of the programming and some of the commercials) but there are some things I enjoy. Certain commercials, certain older sitcoms, etc. Some even make me cry (shh, don’t tell everyone, I’m a softy!). One commercial that touches me (and makes my eyes fill with tears) is the ASPCA about abused animals. Another is by Liberty Mutual. It’s the one where strangers do random acts of kindness for other strangers. According to Liberty Mutual, they launched a website, The Responsibility Project (and blog), due to the an overwhelming response of their commercial. Do you find it hard to believe one short commercial can touch so many people? I do. But, it happens and I’m glad this is one of them because I totally agree with the message! The goal of their site is to be a resource that can help folks talk with their kids about personal responsibility. What a wonderful thing! I found about about the project via momcentral, so kudos to MC for sharing the news!

I took time and watched some of the short films they have on the project website. Some are very touching (and I do mean that… one made me teary!) and a few are a bit long but they show exactly how we, as people, should be, from kids to adult!

This one is long but one of my faves:

Oh…. and before I go, this is for the cats & cat owners around… It should have been with my green post below… but, well, I didn’t know about it when I posted that…

treehuggingcats.com is giving away Yesterday’s News®, free. It is eco-friendly cat liter, made from Recycled Newspaper. Sure, you can use your own papers but why not try it, it’s free. I requested a coupon to try it. I’ll try anything once… LOL!

Well, gotta scram – I’ve been enjoying time with my hubs this week. It’s been so nice!

Toodles.

There are a lot of ways to go green. I’m one of those folks who wish they were greener… (just not literally – ha! I don’t wanna look like Kermie). I am always skeptical of trying new products I see on the shelves.

I’ve always used the same brands, for the most part, since I have been an adult. Some I use because it’s what my Mom used (I assume that’s common??)… some just because for one reason or another I became partial to it… some I don’t know why, I think what you grow up with plays a big part in what you use… am I right?

How many of you use Clorox Green Works products? They added Natural Dishwashing Liquid and I tried it (…am still using it). I must say the dish soap cleans up to high standards and I can’t tell a difference in it vs. my non-Eco friendly stuff. It’ll actually replace my usual dish soap. If you’re like me and love “scenty” stuff in your kitchen… it comes in scents, too! I love scents in the house… just not fruity bath products. LOL So… I guess I will stay a bit greener and keep using it. After all, it is the little things that add up, right?

Share with me some tips on going green. Other than cutting back on the paper load and the usual 3 R’s. I get electronic delivery of all my bills. I still get tons of junk tho, ugh. Com’on – share little ways to make a big difference!!
