Earth Day is time to S.H.O.P.

I thought I would start getting into the spirit of Earth Day by encouraging all my readers to make at least one change.....I want you all to go S.H.O.P. (Start Helping our Planet). Yes, you heard me head over to Calypso Studios and join their big Earth Day Giveaway. They are giving away $10,000 in shopping totes to help conserve the use of plastic and paper shopping bags, and replace them with reusable and super-cute S.H.O.P. totes.



Here are a few Earth Day statistics to keep in mind as you register at the Calypso Studios site.
Plastic bags are harmful to the earth in several ways:

• Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide
• According to the EPA, over 380 billion bags are used in the USA every year, which is more than 1200 per resident and it takes about 12 million barrels of oil to make this many bags.
• Over 46,000 pieces of plastic are floating in our oceans worldwide
• Each reusable bag you use has the potential to eliminate an average of 1000 bags over its lifetime.

In a noble attempt to keep our planet green and clean head over to Calypso Studios and win your own trendy shopping totes. This giveaway end April 22nd at Noon EST. Good Luck to all who enter.
