Sustainable Sundays: earthbound

April makes me think of Earth Day, and even though I think every day should be Earth Day, this month I will be highlighting earthy finds from Team Upcyclers.  Handmade items to help us celebrate a month that should remind us of the importance of our planet. Each year we should set goals to recycle, reuse and of course upcycle more. We can all find more ways to help and April is the perfect time to get started.
