April 22, 2009 – Earth Day

Being Earth Day, thought I’d share some facts and “did you know” tid-bits I found on the net:

  • The garbage in a landfill stays for a for about 30 years.
  • Each person throws away approximately four pounds of garbage every day.
  • One bus carries as many people as 40 cars!
  • We each use about 12,000 gallons of water every year
  • 1/3 of all water is used to flush the toilet.
  • The energy we save when we recycle one glass bottle is enough to light a traditional light bulb for four hours
  • For every 2000 pounds of paper (1 ton) recycled, we save 7,000 gallons of water free from chemicals.

So now on another note:

I was at the Vaughan Bridal Show last night, I’ll be there again tonight.  I met some fantastic people, vendors and brides-to-be!  I have a listing on The Ring Bearer site (http://www.theringbearer.ca) and met Cris and many of the other gang from there, who are awesome people!!! Very friendly and helpful… go onto the site and check it out.  It’s a great website that has tons of information and vendors a bride and groom could ever need and want!  Plus, the forum has a lot of fun posts from other brides.   It’s a great resource and it’s GREEN friendly!!! 🙂

Have a great day everybody!
