Talking green

Since the trees are not so green I wanted to start thinking green again. I'll be honest I have not been doing a good job. In fact since trying to go green I think I may have inadvertently become more wasteful. Shame on me. I probably am not more, just really more aware.
For starters I plan to shop the farmer's market as soon as it opens. Not to mention the giant garden being built in my backyard, where I will shop too.
Here is an update on some things I tried. I tried the non deodorant deodorant. Yeah...... I smelled. I can not smell I work with people. It would be fine if say, I saw no one.... EVER. I still have a raging zip loc addiction. I can not give it up. I like to store stuff until it grows mold and I have to throw it out. It's fun! I love the guessing game of what it used to be. Baking soda toothpaste. Yuk!! Shampoo with honey equals flat hair. I'm sure there are more things but lets update on the good green. The lotion with honey equals smooth skin especially after sunburn. I am using green cleaning products, and I'm refilling containers instead of throwing them out. Recycling is fun, but not new to the household. I'm careful to look at every piece of plastic to see if it can go in to the bin, that part is new. And finally I think I'm better with all the paper recycling than before. Oh and I carry my canvas bags where ever I go. If I get plastic bags I put them in the container at the market for bag recycling. That's the scoop.
