live greener

user brickhorse wrote an entry about turning off the water while lathering up in the shower. i tried this once and it immediately made so much sense! this is how my showers have been lately. it’s colder (not as much steam in the bathroom to warm it up), but i’m managing so far. thanks for the suggestion!

this morning i was boiling beans, steaming green veggies, and washing carrots. and instead of throwing all of that veggie water down the drain, i cooled it and watered our plants with it!

now i’m eating the veggies and the plants are having veggie juice.

i want to reduce my carbon footprint.

recycling is easy. just take your recyclables and toss ‘em right into the ol recycle bin.

the reduce and reuse parts are a bit harder. i want to be better at this. i want to reduce how much i contribute to my trash can and reuse things like cloth napkins and silverware.
