How I did it
It made me
Happy & Confident 
How I did it: I made sure I made time every week to try something new. I scoured recipe books and the Net to find new and delicious sounding recipes. Not all of them turned out perfectly, but that is part of learning to cook well. Using the Internet for new recipes is incredible. Whatever you feel like eating, put into a seach in a recipe site and you will get hundreds of new and wonderful recipes to try. Read how I did it…

This is something that has really just evolved, rather than me sitting down to actually plan a way to do it.
It starts with recycling. Not just waste. In my office we no longer throw away paper unless both sides have been used. We use the ‘used paper’ as note pads by all the phones. This means we no longer buy note pads. Everything I use gets recycled.
Then we got rid of one of our cars and only use the one we have when we HAVE to. We both ride bikes or catch public transport to work. We ride to do the grocery shopping.
No more plastic bags in our house. Reusable bags for all shopping. Any plastic bags that make their way to our house become garbage bags.
We shop at farmers markets and buy pesticide free veggies.
I am vegetarian which makes a SIGNIFICANT impact on the environment.
The list goes on. Becoming environmentally friendly is not necessarily about making a political statement or doing anything out of the ordinary. It is just about making informed decisions and thinking before using or discarding anything.
