1. John's garden... how is that green you ask, besides the color? Well when we consume the produce grown in our garden instead of buying it at the grocery store that means that we're not contributing to the need for trucks to ship produce, and we're putting less smog into our community ourselves by not driving to the store to get fresh produce.
2. John's compost pile... our horses help us make our own compost, and we've started adding the leftovers/trash from what we eat to the pile.
3. We bring our own bags when we shop.
John may not realize it but he really does the most towards being green. He thought of the garden and the compost while I only insisted on adding in the food remnants. It's really not that difficult to start but you have to stick with it. I really want to encourage all of you to green up your life start small if you want...every little biit helps.So why don't you all leave comments about how you're trying to be green.
Alex never flushes unless it's number 2 and he uses Purell instead of washing his hands :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to add, WATER BOTTLES!!! Yes, they are recyclable, but a reusable bottle does not have to be melted down into something else and thrown away later! It's not just about recycling, but preventing the need TO recycle. <3
