Though it may take a while for me to blog about these things individually, here's a bit of what I've been doing this winter to Go Green even more.
-I bought my mom cloth napkins for her birthday (she asked for 'em!) - no more paper! They make me feel extra fancy at meals
-I started making my own cloth menstrual pads, for days when the DivaCup can't handle the flow. Flannel feels way better than those disposable pads. And much cheaper, too!
-I learned to mix my own tooth powder and tooth paste so I don't have to buy chemically-stuff in a disposable tube. My teeth are happier than ever!
-I've sold a lot of my old things through Craigslist (and given items away for free, too) - it keeps bulk out of the landfill, makes me a bit 'o money, and keeps items circulating locally
-I'll be giving a few fancy dresses away at a local grocery store that's collecting them for students who need a dress for the prom this year
-I've been using peppermint from last year's garden for twice-weekly steam facials (trying to get rid of pesky blackheads)
-I'm using Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap for hair, body, hands - anything! No need to buy more than one soap, and this one's especially light on the environment
-I purchased Super cheap knitted sweaters at Goodwill and have been unraveling them so I have yarn for future knitting projects
-I learned to skin and tan roadkill - gain a sturdy fabric and clean up your neighborhood at the same time!
