Going Green
October 11th 2008 11:46
In the past year or so I have read a lot of information about using more natural products. So I have tried to incorporate this into our daily life. We recycle like crazy. Even my Mr. Big Boy checks the bottom of things looking for the triangle. We have purchased the new CFL light bulbs. I no longer throw away batteries, but instead they are saved for that magical day they get taken to the proper place for them. I also have quite the collection of printer cartridges. I try very hard to not buy food items with high fructose corn syrup. You would be amazed at how much stuff has that in it. Our other enemy is hydrogenated anything. I try to make a lot of things from scratch. It really isn't that much work, and it tastes so much better than all of that processed stuff. Of course our grocery bill is a bit higher, but I think that is a fair trade for healthier living. I bought a couple of reusable bags for stores, but they rarely make it in the store with me. I do reuse the grocery bags for trash or lunch. I use the Clorox line of cleaning products called Green Works. I stopped buying those incredibly handy cleaning wipes. I still get paper towels, but I try to use a rag instead of them as often as I can. I do not use cloth diapers, but I wish I did. I dream of having my own garden and a compost pile. Of course we are not perfectly green, but maybe someday we will get there.
