What is stoking your fire

Maybe I am letting the coffee set the mood for the day this morning but I am feeling delicious today. I am being inspired today by a few things and I am going to just go with it. I am going to have no obligations today. No list of things to break my day out into increments to keep me from going bored. No TV today sorry baby, Sponge Bob is off for the day. 

I feel like:

Depth Of Field

Dress-up

Burets

Egg Salad

and

My Mom's Old Go-Go Boots!

I need some comic relief. 

Learning how to go green on a poor-mans budget is quite a challenge. However, impossible as it may seem, and trust me I sometimes feel like I am drowning, it can be done. 

The number one thing to remember is that you don't just wake up one day and be green you need to work at becoming green. It is a learning process and I am doing my best based on the time I have and the information that I have come across so far. Trust me there is no shortness of information and unlike many topic I have studied this way of life doesn't have as much conflicting information to confuse me. 

I have come across a few ways to get started living greener in my home.

Tip 1:

Don't be bashful about where you shop. You can find many dried and caned foods or house hold cleaning products with organic brands on the shelves of the local Big Lots. They are usually the highest price in the isle but they are cheaper then at the pricier retail stores. And if you are not sure read the label, it is all there courtesy of the US governments requirements. 

Tip 2:

For you mommies out there I am sure that you give the baby a bath, right. Well don't throw that water away! You can use that water to soak the baby's stained cloths, or you can use it to water the flowers. Another use is to wipe up the floor with it, depending on how dirty the water is. And if it is that dirty, dare I say it, put it in the toilet to flush your deposits. It is enough water to automatically flush the toilet without using the water stored in the tank. 

Tip 3:

Check out your local farms. Even if they are not a strictly organic farm with your support they will keep the cost of transporting food from one side of the planet to the other. This is a waste of fuel and energy. 

I hope this helps you along the way.

And please email me with any suggestions you may have.
