Oh goodness! Today didn't feel like a Monday, but it definitely is! Here is this week's Green Tip. Thanks Leslie Ann for sharing your artistic talents and using humor to promote an easy way to save electricity!

“But the cloth, warp or woof, from which the spot disappears when you have washed it, shall then be washed a second time, and it shall be clean.” (Leviticus 13:58)

A new invention has just hit the market, and it’s both ecological and economical. It replaces the dryer during the summer and is more gentle on clothing. It makes clothes smell fresh, like the outdoors. It’s called lateral garment suspension…or more commonly known as “the clothesline”. All joking aside, our parents and grandparents have long dried their clothes on a clothesline.
In addition to the ecological aspects, hanging out your laundry is good exercise for the arms, it’s relaxing, and it’s an opportunity to talk to the neighbors. When it’s windy, the result is better than ironing. A final tip: you can bring the experience indoors in winter by using a drying rack.

Hi all! We didn't get to post a Green Tip last week, but here is this week's tip courtesy of Yasmine Oabel.

“You give them drink from the river of your delights.” (Psalm 36:8)

Buying herbal tea in bulk is less expensive and requires less packaging. Bulk herbal teas are more fragrant as well, because they haven’t been stored for as long. More and more shops are specializing in bulk regular tea and herbal tea. Give them a try.
To brew, use an infuser spoon, a tea ball or a teapot. They are reusable and easy to find. In addition to the environmental aspect, you get to enjoy a greater variety of drinks by having chamomile and vanilla one night, and chamomile and linden the next!

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)

On April 22, let us rejoice, for it is Earth Day! As Christians, we are not only in awe as we contemplate nature, but we also see traces of the Creator in each of His creatures. Be sure to take part in a rally in your town. Visit Earth Day Canada (www.earthday.ca/pub/) for more information.
Do a small action this week and add this act of kindness to those being done by everyone else to protect the Earth, God’s work. And most importantly, give thanks to the Creator of heaven and earth!

Big thanks to Ximena Alessandra Bustamante Ramos for sharing her painting with us!

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13 ESV

What this Bible verse teaches me about Earth Day is that it helps me respect everything that God created in the beginning of time. My Green Tip is to take public transportation, ride a bike (if you want to be health-conscious), or organize a carpool.

As for me, I enjoy riding my bike to parks, around the block or places that are close to my home. Riding a bike calms me down, keeps me active and, most importantly, it gives me time to reflect and marvel at God's beauty.
