We switched to a Laptop Lunch box for my son (no more plastic baggies). My husband liked it so much, he has one now too!

I would love to be able to win these items. I am trying so hard to feed my family in this economy as it is, so it is really hard to not only feed them but feed them good for you food.

I switched to cloth napkins, we only use glass storage (not plastic), we use reusable shopping bags & I even made some out of old Tshirts I was going to throw away, I don’t buy bottled water anymore (that was hard, it is so convenient!), I use eco friendly cleaners, dish & laundry detergent & line dry MUCH of our clothes. we buy most of our produce from an organic farm CSA or farmers market, we stopped drinking cow’s milk & hardly eat any meat anymore & only buy free range organic eggs. we use eco-sensitive diapers & wipes…

wow, that sort of makes me sound like a crazy hippie!
but I’m trying to do my part…

I have a ton of the reusable bags that I use instead of grocery bags. The only bags I get from the store are paper on a rare occasion. We use those to recycle our newspapers and magazines.

I also use tupperware containers in my kids lunch boxes instead of the plastic bags.

We try really hard to use reusable bags for our shopping trip, and I’m probably at 50% (I keep forgetting them in the car and remembering when I’ve already gotten to the checkout =(

But, we did start a compost pile this summer and bought a rain barrel–so I never once had to turn on my hose to water the vegetable gardens!

We also got insulation blown into the walls and already our energy bills have dropped about 20%

So, all in all it’s been a good year for us!

We collect plastic bottles, use resusable bags and minimize the use of plastic.

We reuse everything from bags to socks. We go to the thift store for any necessities we cannot make at home. We have a vegetable garden, and use collected rain water to water it. We eat at home. Wash in cold water, and line dry our laundry……etc…….Its easy to be “Green” when you are low income already.

We’ve almost completely cut out our beef consumption. Knowing what I do about some cattle industry practices, I feel pretty good about that.
