I've decided to liv...Instead of buying green... I've decided to live responsibly. By taking responsibility for the production of your "things" you're not only reducing your carbon footprint(my herbs aren't shipped cross country) but you also cut out a lot of the nasty chemicals and even save some $.<br /><br />I've made my own soap from scratch as a hobby for many years so I don't subject my body, laundry or dishes to the chemical cleansers and it's really cheap(when I don't use the fancy ingredients for the bath soap). I'm not saying this path is for everyone but in 2 hours I can whip up a large batch of soap that lasts 6 months and it's no more dangerous than making a pot of 5 alarm chili.<br /><br />If you make real food from ingredients instead of instant food from boxes and cans your grocery bill, sodium intake will drop but the flavour and vitamin intake will raise. With a crock pot you can make amazing gourmet soups & stews by throwing everything in at lunch and ignoring it for a few hours. Paired with fresh baked rolls(freezer dough balls you mixed the week before) your hubby with think you're working like crazy every day.<br /><br />My sister cuts my hair in exchange for a loaf or two of cinnamon bread(I was making 2 for my house, doubling the recipe doesn't take any longer). <br /><br />These are just some ideas... I'm sure you can come up with many more.<br /><br />Buying green products is still buying things. Most people don't need more junk.<br /><br /> ~ Shannon<br />http://willowwisdom.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
