Have you ever really thought about the size of your carbon footprint? The amount of greenhouse gas emissions your lifestyle is responsible for? So many of our daily activities are needlessly inefficient, releasing CO2 into the atmosphere–and we may not even realize it!

If you’re curious, you can calculate your carbon footprint here. Or get the kids involved with this fun calculator! Bigger than you thought it would be? Or are your a green machine? No matter what, there’s always more we could be doing to make our lives more eco-friendly.

Here are 20 ways you can start reducing your carbon footprint right now:

1. Buy locally produced goods and services.

2. Make compost.

3. Say goodbye to bottled drinks. (And hello to SodaStream!)

4. Hang your wash on a clothesline when you can.

Many of you aren’t just fizzers, you’re mothers too. But no matter who you are, you have a mom in your life. Someone who warms hearts, holds hands, packs lunches, dries tears, protects, defends, and loves unconditionally. And while we should show how grateful we are for them every day, it’s especially important on Mother’s Day.

Just in case you need a new way to say, “I love you,” here are ten ways to show appreciation for the mom in your life this Mother’s Day:

1. Write a note about your favorite memory of the two of you.
2. Plant her favorite flower in her garden.
3. Whip up her favorite food or drink.
4. Cook her breakfast in bed. (For added cuteness, try making these pancake pops.)
5. Write a poem for her. It doesn’t have to sound

…

Check your calendars–Mother’s Day is quickly approaching! This year it falls on Sunday, May 12th. You know what that means: it’s time to get on your gift game. To help you out a bit, I’ve put together a list of little somethings that are sure to make the mom in your life smile.

Because she’s bubbly.

Ooh-la-la, a French perfume AND bubbles to play with? Mom is going to adore these Maison Francis Kurkdjian perfume bubbles.

Because she brightens up the kitchen.

The Beater whisk is so simple, but so brilliant. This colorful whisk is contractible and has a handy hook for hanging. Not to mention, it comes in various fun color combos! (Which means you’ll be able to perfectly match it to her soda maker)

Because she gave you…
