Happy Earth Day! Today marks the last official day of Sylvania’s Earth Day Challenge – 40 for the Future. It has been a pretty amazing 40 days. I have been documenting our journey for the last 4 weeks… and truly cannot believe how far we’ve come. It’s been such a cool thing to participate in. On my last official update… [...]

I’ve been mentioning throughout the last couple of weeks that I’ve challenged my family to take the Sylvania Earth Day Challenge. It’s something I truly thought would actually be very challenging for us as a whole. I have been beyond pleasantly surprised to say it’s been quite the opposite. I’m even going to say it… it’s been FUN. My husband [...]

Sylvania’s Earth Day Challenge – 40 for the Future – is more than 1/2 way over… I have to say, we’re doing a pretty good job here in the McClelland household. Yesterday I got to shoot some video with my little man Henry (who is already doing a great job helping keep the lights off!) and showed some additional ways [...]

I figure if I’m going to be making changes in our household, I want my sons to see the changes and understand (as best as they can) why [...]

I’m trying… I’m trying really, really hard. I’ve committed to Sylvania’s 40 Day Earth Day Challenge. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, SYLVANIA is challenging everyone to take energy-efficient actions at home and at work that, over 40 days. The goal is that it will add up to 40 million kilowatt hours. I hate to admit this, [...]

Sylvania’s “green” campaign to celebrate Earth Day’s 40th anniversary kicks off today! It will run through the next 40 days… ending on Earth Day, April 22nd. Before I was a mother, I wasn’t the “greenest” woman in the world. I’ve tried to make some progress since becoming a mother – making conscious “green” decisions in our household as much, and [...]
