What We've Done So Far

We spent about a year "greenifying" our house before deciding to formally share what we're doing (though many of our friends have gotten several earfuls about our green adventures).

So here's a bit of our socially responsible conversions in the past year:

• Installed rain barrels
• Composting
• Line dry all our laundry (yes, you can line dry in the winter!)
• Insulate our windows with plastic
• Hypermile
• Always take the more fuel efficient vehicle
• Clean with Seventh Generation products
• Consult the Better World Shopper for purchases 
• Easing into buying grass fed beef and free-range organic chicken
• Install fluorescent or LED lights throughout the house. Our back porch light is a solar powered LED. 
• Run the fan in reverse to circulate heat

Not so hard, huh?! We do have a long way to go, but social responsibility is an ever evolving journey which we have enjoyed so far.
