Comments on: Things I use now that I’m green(er) http://www.alittlegreenereveryday.com/2009/09/things-i-use-now-that-im-greener.html Some useful information, some anecdotes, some rantings, and some inspiration <br>from my quest to make my family and perhaps the world around me A Little Greener Every Day Mon, 13 Dec 2010 22:42:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Alison Kerr http://www.alittlegreenereveryday.com/2009/09/things-i-use-now-that-im-greener.html/comment-page-1#comment-723 Alison Kerr Thu, 24 Sep 2009 19:02:53 +0000 http://www.alittlegreenereveryday.com/?p=610#comment-723 In the last year I've started composting and made a pledge to air dry more laundry. I'm serving more made from scratch meals and using my bread-maker (sometimes). As you say, many green choices are frugal choices. I actually set out to cut my grocery budget by using bulk basic foods and ended up with less trash, better tasting food, and healthier meals.

The only household paper product we still use is TP, but we use a brand that is all recycled. One thing we use a LOT now is the compost bin. All kitchen scraps go in there, plus plant trimmings, leaves, and other yard waste. Then every spring we have free plant food. We've gotten really creative about reusing things instead of throwing things out, or finding a new home for stuff we don't use anymore. Better for someone to use it than end up in a landfill. This is a great article. I could keep writing forever (but I won't). Thank you for stimulating my thoughts about what else I could be doing.

Constantly! I use it to clean, to wash my hair, to get rid of stale smells, sometimes even in the catbox. Apple cider vinegar is a much bigger part of my life in the same way. Baking soda.
