Please don't roll your eyes. I'm writing yet ANOTHER post about my goals for 2009. This time, though, THIS time I'm writing about how I plan to improve my green living. Here are things we have already done over the past couple years:
- Eliminated the use of paper towels and napkins
- Use cloth diapers
- Employed the use of a clothesline (though it had to be taken down for the garden last summer)
- Switched to an eco-friendly dish soap and other household cleaning supplies
- Started wearing burlap sacks and cardboard shoes...HAHA. Just kidding.
- Use canvas shopping bags
- Have a homebirth! (does that count?)
- Put the clothesline back up
- Plant, harvest, and can some vegetables
- Jamie wants to get chickens and goats. We'll see how that goes.
- Continue to use more eco-friendly cleaning products
- Find a reasonably priced potted Christmas tree

Great Goals! Homebirth...wow more power to ya!
the no paper products thing is tough! I was doing good for a while but have totally fallen off the wagon. I can't even handle cloth dipes anymore. The toddler poop is just nasty. Bleh. I blame it on being preg! :) I'm sure in a few weeks, I'll try and de-stink my BGs and maybe get back in the game. We'll see.....
Love your goals! That's a good way to start the new year! I think another good goal is just to stay on track w/ what you're already doing. :)
Good luck on the homebirth! It's my personal preferred method of birthing ;)
The only Green Goals I have left is to buy land, build a house from natural & recycled materials and be completely off-grid. I've had everything else down-pat since I became a Mama at 17 & lived on my own. The Green Way is also the frugal way LOL
