-when we sit as a family at the table we say a blessing
-I keep a compost bin on the counter top where I gather as much as I can, including paper towels, egg shells and coffee grind. I empty it every night.
-Switched to completly homemade laundry products: detergent, softener, and dryer sheets.
-my husband has been making popsickles, saussages and bacon. It's really yummy!
-we implemented fabric napkins for all meals
-Switched to homemade cleaning products and it works! And it is so cheap!
What I'd like to "work" on in the coming months:
-reducing electricity use
-making a list of things I want to look up or do on the computer before I turn it on
-reducing water consumption, reuse kids' baths water for cleaning floors, watering garden etc.
-setting up a daily routine involving the garden (weeds, water, mulch etc)
-find a sustainable, easy way to make water palatable. the tap water here tastes awful, when I feel courageous I prepare mint or lemon water, but then it's gone within the hour.. and it's so much easier to open a bottle that actually "taste" like water, not sewer..
-hopefully we'll get some chicken!
