Living greener

[Not Afraid]

Our house is a eco-nightmare. Built in 1927, it has only a few things that make it even slightly green. I recently got a front loading washer and dryer and our fridge is evergy complient. We do use compact flourescents.

I drive to places for a living. Granted, I stay local, but I make an abundance of short trips. I have thought about getting a Vespa for work, but the thought of driving around "naked" scares me.

Next go around with cars, we will be considering a smart car or a hybrid, but I'm stuck for 2 more years in a lease.

We do recycle regularly but we don't compost (something I'd like to start doing). I always snip my 6-pack holders.

I use vinegar to clean quite a bit. I buy it by the gallon jugs and go through it pretty quickly. I, too, hate the sudden sanitize hysteria and refuse to buy products to support that craze and waste.

I'm now using pine cat litter.
