    Ooh, this would be such a cool addition to our mom story-time group!

    Anyway, we try to add a few new “green” things throughout the year. Our latest additions have all been baby-centered: we cloth diaper (cuts down on disposable waste), breastfeed (cuts down on formula waste), and only use hand-me-downs or buy second-hand. We also try to focus on only buying from small local mom-and-pop places, which cuts down on gas and on some of the corporate waste, but I’m not sure if that really makes much of a difference for the environment. It might be that that just makes us feel better about ourselves lol!

    Also, I voted for you in both things (although had trouble with the one, I’m not sure if it’s a browser issue or what?) and am a Twitter follower, Facebook fan, and RSS follower. So. Wow. That’s alot of following =)

    Recently, we went to Kohnl’s to buy my teenager a pair of dress shoes. lol

    What we do to help stay green in our home is to recycle. We recycle paper, glass, soda cans, newspaper, and much more. We also have the water saving toilets. I am not a fan of the water saving toilets because ours wants to overflow. Sorry. Anyways, we do many things. We shop at Sam’s Club and reuse boxes and bags to carry our own groceries too. 🙂

    Thanks,

    To go green, we try to reuse everything – everything usually has a good 2 ways to use it before you have to throw it away. I’m also trying to get into the reusable shopping bag swing. I don’t quite have enough just yet though. Thanks for the chance!

    We’ve recently cut back on water use, trying to do laundry less by using towels more than once, especially with the kids, etc. We also save our water/soda bottles/cans and turn them in for a bit of cash every once in a while.

    We shut off lights during the day, use natural sunlight. The kids and I started a recycling program, which helps out with the school and we have less trash going into our trash bins. We have a compost pile outdoors, that does also feed the deer that wander around in the woods. 10 min showers for everyone.

    We recycle newspapers and plastic containers. Turn off water when brushing teeth. Turn off fans, lights, computer when not in use. Our thermostat is programable so heat and air turn off when we are not home. Hang clothes to dry as much as possible to limit dryer use. Also, walk to store unstead of using the car.

    I try to be green to set a good example for my kids, but the most impressive thing I’ve ever done to be green was last weekend when we were volunteering at the Food Bank. We were putting bulk rice into smaller, zip-loc bags. I asked the guy in charge if he was going to throw away all the “boxtop for education” labels. He said yes!! So after the shift was over, I ripped them all off to donate to one of the smaller schools in our district. Then I asked if he was going to recycle the boxes. He said no. So I brought ALL of them to the recycling center. We bagged 31,000 pounds of rice that day, so that’s A LOT of zip loc bag boxes!
