Yayyy!! It's New Year's!! Did you make your list of resolutions yet? Here're mine! Share yours too - send me your great ideas!:
1) No more plastic bags at the grocer's. - Even though I re-use them when I get home, maybe if we all stop using them, the stores will get the idea and cut down on them.
2) Think twice, maybe three or four times! about anything non-biodegrable that I used to throw out in the garbage. Like: plastic containers for Chinese food, plastic utensils, old clothes. I'm starting a quilt with some old T-shirts and jeans I was going to throw out! Save the plastic containers and re-use them for storing food in the fridge, or paint or glue trays (for woodworking!). Make art with any glasses or cups you break by mistake: glue them to a cork or wooden board and make a design or even a mosaic! Make great gifts. Be really careful with your fingers though. Use only the larger pieces.
3) Starting a compost heap in a corner of the yard. - Not only makes my trash smaller, but will help my vegetable garden and flower beds!
4) Blog EVEN MORE about all my green projects. Cuz the more we talk about it, the more other people will see it and get on the bandwagon, too!
