Diabetesaliciousness - Lite, Earth Day Edition!
Happy Friday (a day that many celebrate the last day day of the traditional work week) and Happy Earth Day, the day in which we celebrate our planet and our attempts to be greener!
We all know that going green is a good thing for our planet,our environment, and our health. Less chemicals in our products & real foods on our plates make us healthier as a people and a planet!
This Earth Day, I plan on laying out my plans for this summer's veggie garden, picking up trash wherever I see it, seriously assessing how I can live a greener life.
Thanks to Earth Day, recycling has become second nature to us -which is a good thing, but it makes still makes me feel guilty in my day to day existence thanks to my diabetes paraphernalia.
I really wish that companies whose products that I count on to live, exist and thrive (I'm talking to you diabetes companies) would take the initiative and go more green. They could start by using less packaging, and they could follow many businesses examples of rewarding their customers on Earth Day.
Speaking of rewarding customers on Earth Day, here's a list of some free offerings in honor of Earth Day. Maybe next year some diabetes related companies will follow their lead !

Thanks for all the ideas for the great deals today! I wonder if there really is a way to make our supplies greener...In a way I feel like supplies is not the place I want to skim on safety etc., but I would LOVE if there was a better way! What if we went somewhere to pick up the supplies as oppose to shipping? That cuts down on a lot of different things for the earth! I feel also we could get one less cap per tube for our pumps. I have SO many and I could def use about 100 less. lol.
It used to be that National Arbor Day Foundation would also give you free yearling trees to plant on your land.
