As I was decluttering a dresser today, I was wondering just what we've done in the past few weeks to help our environment.
- we purchased 75# of potatoes from a Hutterite colony, thus eliminating the plastic bags that most potatoes come in.
- we recycled all our papers, cans and pop bottles/cans.
- we've stopped drinking pop at the beginning of last week, thus eliminating pop bottles and cans completely. The bottles I mentioned from before we made this major change in our eating habits.
- I've cut back our water consumption which isn't much, but it has brought out water bill down $14.00 over 3 months. Every little bit helps.
How have you helped the environment?
