going green...

Since it's Earth Day and all, I thought I'd post about some of the ways I'm trying to be more environmentally friendly... please share in the comments about some of the things you all are doing too!


- Using canvas shopping bags at the grocery store



- Using Nalgene water bottles instead of bottled water

- Recycling (paper, plastic, cans, cardboard)

- Washing out & reusing ziploc bags

- Driving a fuel-efficient car (yay Toyota)

- Donating items whenever possible rather than throwing them away (school supplies to a school, books to the library, old computer to a nonprofit, etc.)

- Use fewer & nontoxic cleaning products- I'm planning to switch to Basic H at the recommendation of Money Saving Mom

Thanks to my mom for being a good example in this endeavor!

P.S. I've noticed that a lot of these ways of going green also help save money!
