Going Green...Kind of :)
I'm definitely not a fanatic or the crazy lady that buys only used clothes and flushes the toilet once a day, but the past year or so I've really tried to make a conscious effort to take better care of the world around me. Thomas and I purchased a Hybrid car to battle against the enormous fuel cost, but our family grew and now we have a 7 seater SUV (it is the most fuel efficient in its' class :P). I also take all of our plastic grocery bags and aluminum cans in to be recycled. Did you know every plastic bag and aluminum can is turned into another bag or can? My most recent project is a compost pile! Yes, it is gross but there is something about it that makes me look forward to cleaning out the rotten produce in our refrigerator :). We have nothing but clay in the ground here, and the compost pile is making some VERY dark, soft dirt that will save us lots of money! Next summer I think I'm going to do a fruit and vegetable garden. What are some small things you are doing? I'd love to know!
