Green...Kind of.

I am on a new quest to become more green. I've been teetering on the edge for a while now and I think I'm ready to go head first! I'll be replacing products one by one and slowly changing our grocery shopping to mostly organic and recycled items. I will be setting up recycling containers and re-using as many things as I can.

Here is a random list of things I would like to do in the (near-ish) future-this is mostly just for my benefit of keeping the list in one spot so that I cant lose or throw it away:) If you have any suggestions PLEASE feel free to add them!

I'm sure this list will be updated and edited a lot:)
  • Tank less hot water heater
  • Bamboo flooring
  • Recycling bins
  • K needs an organic twin mattress for when she gets a big girl bed
  • Organic sheets and comforters, as well as pillows.
  • New thermostat
  • New *energy efficient* AC unit
  • Ceiling fans in spare rooms
  • Learn how to cook...compile a list of ingredients to keep on hand at all times.
  • Phase out harmful cleaners
  • Grow plants in the house, and not kill them:)
  • Grow tomatoes...or any other vegetable
  • Get a more fuel efficient vehicle (What kind of vehicle do YOU drive?)
  • Maybe switch to only one vehicle and just carpool with DH
  • Phase out harmful shampoos and soaps
  • Organic make up and hygiene products (If anyone knows of any good ones, let me know!)
