A blog that attempts to provide you with useful examples and tips that could make a large positive ecological impact, although they are seemingly minor, quick and easy changes to your daily routine.

Welcome to Ecotipsforlife.com

Ecology: meaning "study of house or living relations"

What is EcoTipsForLife.com not?
Ecotipsforlife.com is not a save the planet type website. I think we can be fairly certain the planet will save and balance itself out with or without our intervention and/or meddling.

We as a human species? Not so certain. We might or might not survive our planet's balancing act. We must find our own balance, awareness and a way to co-exists with the planet in order to survive.

Ok, what is EcoTipsForLife.com then?
EcoTipsForLife.com is a simple blog with the intent to show you that you can make a large impact by making simple changes that could even save you time in your daily routine. Browse the site and see for yourself.

Earth day 2011

April 21st, 2011 Thomas (Ecotipsforlife.com Admin)

Like I mentioned before Earth Day has become as much of a marketing tools as it is a cause.

SInce it’s inception however (checkout the first poster here) many good things have come from it and organisations like the Earth Day Network (earthday.org) that grew out of that first Earth Day have done a lot of good things.

Even though April 22nd is the official Earth Day it is, in my opinion, important to look at the remaining 364 days of the year for actions that cause permanent change, which is evident by the year-round domestic and international programs being run by organizations like the Earth Day Network.

Kissimmee Green Place Tour

April 4th, 2011 Thomas (Ecotipsforlife.com Admin)

We’ve been buying most of our veggies and eggs at a local farm for some time now and could not be happier with the quality and taste. Since they where doing one of their tours (which they do on Saturday and Sunday @ 1:30pm see http://www.kissimmeesgreenplacefororganicvegetables.com/) we decided to take part in the tour.

Not only did it give us a better understanding of why the quality is as it is, it also gave some more insight into how and why the company was founded.

I put together a small Flickr set containing some pictures of the place:
