As my family tries to move toward less consumption, we find it all makes sense and is easiest for us in small, calculated steps. Its giving the kids time to learn the difference it all makes too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25987585.post-1155762635105380922006-08-16T15:10:00.000-06:002006-08-16T15:10:00.000-06:00Love this!

This isn't easy in Phoenix, but I do what I can.<BR/>I use tote bags at the grocery. Always.<BR/>I recycle my yogurt and cottage cheese containers for my lunches. They work well and wash up!<BR/>I use a Nalgene bottle and when I go into an informal restaurant where you can refill a drink, I ask to use my bottle instead of a plastic cup they would provide.<BR/>I donate all my used clothing when I travel -- give it to the poor.<BR/>I follow the "use what you have" rather than "go shop like crazy" policy when it comes to crafting. <BR/>I use digital photos instead of print photos.<BR/>I started a magazine swap in my office so we can read lots, but only buy a couple.<BR/>I recycle nearly everything I can.<BR/>That's enough for now! Great post. You've got me thinking!!African Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741350447523434665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25987585.post-1155747732054608292006-08-16T11:02:00.000-06:002006-08-16T11:02:00.000-06:00I just heard a story on MPR about "localarianism",...I just heard a story on MPR about "localarianism", the movement to eat more locally. And one of the main points was that it's not something we can do 100%, but at least trying is an important step.<BR/><BR/>I like that idea very much. I think I may head to the farmer's market yet this week.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033525333508007704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25987585.post-1155678385182923952006-08-15T15:46:00.000-06:002006-08-15T15:46:00.000-06:00I like this idea of taking things one step at a ti...I like this idea of taking things one step at a time. It's easy to get overwhelmed by not being able to make huge changes in a jiffy. . .but as you mention, it's the little things that make a big difference! :)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10428976047076549831noreply@blogger.com
