This is the (insert forest sounds here and fade in narrator with echo)...."GREEEEN TAAAAAG"....
So...here's how it works: I share 3 ways I try to minimize my impact on the environment and then I continue the game by "tagging" five other bloggers.
number 1: I recycle everything I can. I love to recycle. But since everyone says that, let me give another number 1.
NEW number 1: I make sure to turn off all electronics, computers, fans, lights, printers, speakers, air conditioning, heaters, t.v. etc...when I'm not in the room/not at home/outside, etc... I have to admit, I only do this about 90% of the time, but I can assure you when I leave the room and the fan is still on, a little nagging voice attacks my brain and I eventually go back and turn it off.
number 2: I have a composter (the Tumbleweed Tumbler to be exact), which I use to compost things like vegetable and fruit scraps, grass clippings, and leaves. Composting is great because you are able to give back to the earth and reduce waste.
number 3: We save a lot of our "grey" water. Every time we turn the water on in the kitchen, we let the water collect in a bucket underneath the faucet, which we then transfer to a larger bucket outside. We use this water for bathing. KIDDING! No, we use it to water our plants and trees. I have to say that my mom actually started doing this before I did, so KUDOS to mom!
And that's about it folks. I conclude with a little photo of my bird baths! Oh, and the five bloggers I am tagging, apologies if you've already been tagged:
