Once I had children, I became aware of the fact that I had a responsibility to do my part in preserving our planet. Not for myself, but, for my children and for the generations to come. In recent years I have made some changes in my life and home in hope of doing my part.
Some of the things I have done, and feel we have done well are:
eliminating plastic bags and using re-usable bags when shopping
switching my light bulbs to energy efficient light bulbs
eliminating plastic water bottles from my home
eliminating toxic house cleaners, I use either vinegar and water or green cleaners
unplugging appliances when not in use
drying my clothes on the line whenever possible
separate my yard waste from the garbage

Things I would like to improve upon:
find a way to compost
turn down the thermostat
look for and purchase products made from recyclable material
recycle rain water for watering plants in the summertime
