The month of March in all it Greenness always makes me think of ways I can contribute to the Green movement. Now you should know, even though I am not one of those save the earth hippie chics "However some days I think it would be totally rad to be one!" I do try to do my share of caring for our planet and my personal space. I feel if we all do just a little more it would make a huge impact on our beautiful earth.
Here are some simple ideas that you can try to incorporate this year into your Green living.
- Find unique ways to recycle paper goods
- Open windows & let fresh air in
- Buy HandMade- www.etsy.com
- Be creative in your decor-buy vintage
- Use reusable water bottles
- Subscribe to online newspapers & electronic statements
- Line dry your clothes
- Start a small pot garden
- Carry a green shopping tote
- Use natural fiber sponges & cleaning product
- Shop your local farmers market
What simple ideas do you have & use that would contribute to a living green lifestyle?

Alys,
I am trying to live "green" too. My biggest effort goes into composting. The big black compost bin on the sunny side of my house keeps the mess out of sight and "cooking" in the sun all day. I add all my kitchen and yard trimmings thru the lid at the top and remove the compost from the drawers located at the bottom. Sometimes I stir the "brew" with a pitchfork and add in a brown layer (dirt or leaves). The compost provides surprises when put back into the garden (see post of August 15, 2008). Hugs, Marcy
