With the month of St. Patrick's Day upon us, I have decided to set a few "green" goals for myself. In the last few months I have become connected with various message boards, blogs, and websites that have inspired my to get a little more green. I have to say in my heart of heart I am rather cruncy but like all of us, I have be aclimated to a cultre of convenience and the status quo. So rather than continuing to use that as an excuse I am setting a few goals my myself and our home as I begin to slowly march down the granola trail. Oddly enough, achieving these goals will ultimately help me achieve another goal which is saving more $$$ (Lol, ya know green. Pardon the pun).
1) Rid my home of those delightful smelling, yet toxic plug in air fresheners as well as any other spray fresheners that may be lingering around our home. I will dispose of them in a eco friendly way.
2) Slowly covert to homemade/green/ family friendly cleaning products. I will either dispose of my current products by taking them to the landfill or donating them to my family who may be a little less green minded at this time.
3) Stop buying paper napkins! I would like to invest a little money in some cloth napkin that will serve the same purpose.
I will obviously continue using our cloth diapers/wipes and genuienly make an effort to be more conscious of my energy consumption.
