As 2009 kicked off – I made a pact that I would become “Greener”! I can’t believe how much less garbage we have. I only have to wheel our Garbage Can to the curb every couple weeks!!

John is slowly adjusting to all of my boxes that sort my paper, plastic, cans, etc. Since he’s from Texas, where very little recycling is done, I will give him a bit of time to adjust! It didn’t take him long to catch onto returning our bottles and cans to collect our deposit money – because he wanted to get back what he already paid for originally. However, the more I drip the green spirit on him, I know he’ll catch on to recycling and reusing other items ;) I love picking out the garbage he puts in the can under the sink in the kitchen and putting into the recycle box behind the garbage!! I don’t say anything, but actions often speak louder than words.

I also hope to plant a small herb garden and more flowers this year in our yard! I know – crazy to think that I might attempt to keep vegetation alive – however I’m working on mastering the skill – I’m currently a Domestic Goddess in Training!

What are YOU doing to live a Greener life – other than just celebrate Earth Day??  I’d love to hear YOUR tips on how I can incorporate more Greener practices into my life!  Please share what you do…
