Going green in the new year

Image via Wikipedia

Our family has decided to go a little greener for 2010. "Green" as in cash savings as well as being kinder to the environment.I have found it more and more irritating spending $GREEN$ cash on certain items, only for them to end up in the trash. For example paper towels, napkins, plastic baggies and plastic silverware seem literally a waste to buy. We are trying to spend less on disposable products this year. So I've already taken the first step in replacing some of these items. Though I will admit, we have a small stash of each of those mentioned disposable items "just in case" should happen. One just never knows.

Cloth diapers for the little guy you ask? No, unfortunately I still can't bring myself to this. My brother is about 10 years younger than I and he sported the cloth diaper as an infant. I'm still horrified from shaking his # 2s in the toilet for flushing. Ahhh! For those of you who do go the cloth diaper route - I applaud you.

I've decided to share a few "Going Green" blog postings with you going forward. Just a few ways in which we have gone a little greener in our house. Stay tuned:-)
