I use less energy, which is good for the environment as well as reducing my electric bill. And don't forget about composting! Between my compost pile and my recycle bin, my daughter and I generate about one kitchen bag of trash per week, and I'm working on reducing that even more.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250231924851950961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-81181827541259111902009-04-23T08:28:00.000-05:002009-04-23T08:28:00.000-05:00Great post and thank you for all those links!Great post and thank you for all those links!ChristyACBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396628757148282551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-33126578984141626432009-04-23T00:44:00.000-05:002009-04-23T00:44:00.000-05:00We too, try to be as green as possible, recycling ...We too, try to be as green as possible, recycling wherever possible etc. Your note about bars of soap was intersting though, as we use bars in both the kitchen and the bathroom and always have done, but I've noticed these past few months, that the supermarket hardly has any bars for sale now, only maybe 3 or 4 brands, whereas it has dozens of bottles of liquid soap. I'm in the UK by the way, which might make a difference.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660062226247943111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-19213473922468615262009-04-22T19:32:00.000-05:002009-04-22T19:32:00.000-05:001) Can or preserve your own food.

Then all you have to send to your recycling agency is the lid when you open it, and the occasionally glass bottle when it chips.<br />2) I shred, using a shredder, all non-corrugated cardboard and put it on the compost pile. I also do the same with all junk mail, etc.<br />3) I use all corrugated cardboard and newspaper in the garden as mulch cloth.<br /><br />Would love to hear more suggestions.Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-17844413968812964342009-04-22T18:50:00.000-05:002009-04-22T18:50:00.000-05:00I love your blog and I am proud to say I do all of...I love your blog and I am proud to say I do all of the things you suggest to be eco-wise. Maybe it's Yankee thriftiness, but I am always looking for a second life or a recycling opportunity. What worries me most is cyber-waste and I have 3 nearly dead computers now that I want to dispose of safely but it isn't that easy. Here in Australia we always dry our clothes outdoors and my locality is aimed at Zero Waste but I think that may be overly optimistic.Swanknitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06801796808525538417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-25356382210211808652009-04-22T18:42:00.000-05:002009-04-22T18:42:00.000-05:00Besides Compost Happens, of course (snicker), I li...Besides Compost Happens, of course (snicker), I like Mother Nature Network. http://www.mnn.com/Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647906900944224234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-81443341737618889692009-04-22T18:40:00.000-05:002009-04-22T18:40:00.000-05:00Huh.

I am taking a Human Ecology course at my college (basically about keeping the Earth green, how people mess it up, greenhouse effect, pollution, etc) and we met today and my science professor DIDN'T EVEN MENTION today was Earth Day. >.< Go figure! Nor was there even anything about it on campus. Granted the the county I live in and the counties surrounding it don't even recycle, but something about this scenario seems a bit off. So I will do something green-ish tomorrow.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929690881007792199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-24017395865667208052009-04-22T17:11:00.000-05:002009-04-22T17:11:00.000-05:00I, um, didn't even know it was Earth Day.

Kinda comes naturally when you deal with it so intimately, you know? Yes, you know.<br /><br />But I did hang my laundry on the line today. Which is sort of green. And would have been greener had I done the washing part in the lake, but I am not that hard core. And I'm okay with that.Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-91699973834309005142009-04-22T15:07:00.000-05:002009-04-22T15:07:00.000-05:00I had to laugh, we have all those old blue bottles...I had to laugh, we have all those old blue bottles too. Yes, it's been a wonderful "Earth Day"..as it should be for us everyday. I have been outside(my favorite place) almost all day, the clouds & blue sky are especially beautiful. The red cliff mountains take my breathe away. I'm so grateful for a loving God who created SUCH a awesome place for us to live out our earthly exsistance. Let alone the sweet animals we are so blessed to have. Especially our families...we are so blessed, Thanks for the gorgeous earth, may we all do our best, our part, to take care of it, and each other!Julie Harwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05246850029056713294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-42354443626545850442009-04-22T14:45:00.000-05:002009-04-22T14:45:00.000-05:00Great post!
