How Green Are You?

[finn's mom]

Oh, yeah, we use the energy efficient light bulbs, too! I really hope when we build our house in a couple years that we can do a lot during the construction (like the energy efficient windows).

I quit buying papertowels, and started using microfiber towels instead -- they are found in the automotive section at Walmart, and come in different colors. I use the orange ones for baby related, blue ones for cleaning the bathroom, yellow for the birdcage, and green for the kitchen. They are super absorbant and clean up spills quickly.

I use cloth diapers instead of disposeables. It is SUPER easy and not alot of work. Besides that, they have already paid for themselves 2x over.

I also recycle everything possible, turning off lights, installed a wall heater in one room and turn down the heat in the rest of the house, sold my van and bought a small car. Those are just a few ways that I can think of at the moment.

- I recycle everything I can!
- I use reusable shopping bags, boxes.
- We have a place in the garden where we put all thing to make compost. We use it later to furtilize the garden
- We buy glass bottles instead of plastic ones
- We put the heating lower
- No lights on when not necessary!

I don't do as much as I could but, I do use the 5yr energy light bulbs,
have a car that gets great mpg. I don't really recycle much but there are
folks around here that pick up scrap metals & pop cans to recycle for cash.
I always think that I'm contributing to a good cause.
