I try to use organic foods and clean with vinegar, love that smell! I can do better about the diapers and laundry detergent though. I will be changing my lightbulbs when we move back to Austin. Someday I plan to post on recycling in Canada it's way better than the US.

And you're so right about the silly stereotype regarding people who care about the planet. Hairy armpits are certainly not a prerequisite. :) It's funny, though--I live in Pennsylvania and it SNOWED here today. And it's only Oct. 15th. It makes you wonder about the whole global warming thing.

We've reduced using plastic bags at the grocery store and use the reusable ones, as well as compact florescent bulbs in all our lights and now we don't leave our porch lights on all night. <br /><br />Little changes make the difference, plus we are planting trees and raising our own veggies. <br /><br />Love and Hugs ~ KatHeart2Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240536955573366802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808360407053165584.post-82532014192086669062009-10-15T10:00:21.621-07:002009-10-15T10:00:21.621-07:00hmmm what do i do. i don't flush after i pee, ...hmmm what do i do. i don't flush after i pee, only when someone poopsSPEAKING FROM THE CRIBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875665332513211981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808360407053165584.post-53239462923992251792009-10-15T09:01:59.403-07:002009-10-15T09:01:59.403-07:00Oh I love this post, because I can go a little bit...Oh I love this post, because I can go a little bit nuts reducing chemicals and other items from my little world. My daughter is highly sensitive to the chemicals that preserve foods, and msg related by-products. So we gardened, and composted, and canned this year in hopes of reducing some of that. I am working next on cleaning products and household items as both kids have skin issues. <br /><br />I should have been a pioneer. <br /><br />But then, I wouldn't get to shower daily, and I don't think I'd have liked stinking. <br /><br />You know?Lemonade Makin' Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404173701815078504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808360407053165584.post-11256933446023526552009-10-15T08:57:14.200-07:002009-10-15T08:57:14.200-07:00Every little bit helps.
