Hmmm,
1) compost
2) garden in the spring summer and store our fruits & veges
3) recycle everything we possible can by using the free county collection boxes; as a result we only have 2 cans of garbage a month
4) use cloth dipes & pads and I'm converting from paper towels to cloth for cleaning
5) use natural cleaners
6) slowly converting major appliances to energy star
7) replaced our junky composition roof to energy star metal which will eventually have the side benefit of water collection for our lawn & garden
We'd like to get some solar panels but think that won't actually happen until we build our own house (like, when we retire
) Also would like to replace our non energy efficient windows and need to insulate under our house to improve heat loss.
Great thread, Amy. Reading what every one else is doing is giving me some good ideas
