Earth Day

I try some days more then others to decrease the amount of waste Our family sends to the land fill. I won't lie We need to put a bit more focus on this in our house we have let it slip recently.

We struggle with the garage and garbage day. I really miss the days of running the garbage out whenever we would like. In an effort to combat this issue. I purchased a garbage can size recycle bin to hold it all and a metal strip to hold the recycle bins we will use for paper. This way if we miss a Garbage day as we regularly do. We will have enough storage for said recycling.

We also started the Green Bin program last fall. Things have fallen by the wayside with regard to this hopefully we will be on track once the garage is back in functioning order. We are almost there.

I have decided to use the DivaCup for a few reasons. It has been one month so far. There are definite pros and cons. I may write a review post once a couple of months have passed. I haven't really decided if I want to expose that sort of thing online yet.

There are many other places we have made "Green" changes. I wouldn't really call them changes as we have been doing them for a long time now.


We use CFL Bulbs, we try to use rechargeable batteries most of the time and when we don't they are recycled. We own many reusable bags but only use them 25% of the time. Yet another thing to work on.

Recently we have moved to Bullfrog Power. I had promised myself that once we could afford it we would make the switch. The recent months have led us to do this. Yeah.

Happy Earth day to you.
