I was reading about green new year’s resolutions over on Nature Moms Blog and started thinking about what I accomplished this past year to live a greener lifestyle and how I can improve on that in 2008. Here’s what I came up with.
In 2007, I…:
– Started using my compost bin, significantly reducing the amount of food waste that goes into the garbage
– Grew a few vegetables in a “pot” garden in my yard
– Bought some food at the farmer’s market
– Started regularly using reusable grocery bags
– Replaced the majority of our light bulbs with CFLs (compact fluorescent light bulbs)
– Began using cloth napkins
– Switched to a natural (Charlie’s) laundry soap
– Subscribed to GreenDimes (thanks to a gift from my mom)
– Freecycled, donated and sold unwanted items
Green goals for 2008:
– Continue with the things listed above and…
– Grow a bigger garden
– Possibly join a CSA to eat more locally and shop at the farmer’s market
– Buy some cloth diapers that can stand up to Julian’s nighttime pees and stop using disposables (7th Generation) at night (We cloth diaper during the day.)
– Learn how to can foods
– Learn how to make my own yogurt
– Read “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle”
That’s all that’s coming to me at the moment, but I’m sure I will think of more later and may add to the list as I it comes to me.
I have other personal goals for the new year as well, but will save those for another post, another time.
What about you? What are your green goals for 2008?
Stumble it!
