When I look at my boys, I think about their future. With that and the ever changing environment, I hope that they will have all the luxuries of a much greener planet and a place where people are making an effort to conserve energy.

The U.S Department of Energy and the U.S Environmental Protection Agency has named Frigidaire ENERGY STAR Partner of the year in appliances.  This award recognizes Frigidaire for increasing their selection of environmentally- conscious ENERGY STAR appliances and helping to educate consumers about the ENERGY STAR program.  Did you know though, that a Frigidaire refrigerator uses half the energy than it did 16 years ago?

In celebration of these achievements and April being Earth Month, Frigidaire is encouraging all of us to live a greener lifestyle by being aware and making informed decisions about  appliances and, things like conserving water, taking public transportation to save on gas and fuel and planting a wonderful home garden.  It is about using less and putting more back into our Earth for our children and grandchildren.  By taking these small steps, we can make our planet a better and more efficient place to live.

Our favorite thing to do is plant a home herb and vegetable garden.  The vegetables we grow taste so much better than what we get in the store.  Not only that, we compost things back into the soil to provide continued nutrients to the soil and we waste nothing.  This is a rewarding venture for you and your family and a great way to save money.  This is a great activity to do with young children and they get great satisfaction out of eating the things they grow from the garden.

The Start Of Our Garden

This Year we are growing broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, spinach, peas, green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and onions, rosemary, thyme, cilantro, parsley, sage and basil

For Earth Month, Frigidaire encourages you to take the Eco-Friendly Options Poll on their facebook page and enter for a chance to win.  Frigidaire will be giving away a different eco-friendly appliance.  Grab the family and do something for the planet whether you plant a tree, plant a garden or shop for more efficient appliances, you are making  better choices for the future.

 

Frigidaire sent me a gift card to help me take steps towards greener living.  We were able to get the things we needed to share our garden with you.  All ideas are that of my own
