Kittens....and going green

Sweet11 When I look at these pictures, I can't believe they are of Sweet Pea! He is sooo big now. I hope you aren't tired of his pictures yet--I still have a few favorites left! I think he got used to the camera when he was little and started to like it....

This is before he realized he couldn't keep me off the computer....we knew he was going to be a big kitty. Just look at the size of his paws!

Yesterday my husband worked in the garden and said that Frazier hung out in the garden with him and even MEOWED! He'll be wanting to be petted before long!!!



SOOO....I think I am a day late. Wasn't Earth Day yesterday? Anyway--what are you doing to "go green?" Here are some things I was already doing....



*Buying used instead of new when possible (furniture, clothes, fabric, etc)



*Recycle aluminum cans



*Composting



*Buying local produce when possible



*No a/c in my vehicles (not by choice, but I when they do work, I use them as little as possible)



*Never, never, ever litter



*Take old paint, etc. to be disposed of properly, not thrown in trash



*Rarely use any chemicals on my garden--use organic or natural when possible



*Donate stuff that others could use instead of throwing it away, or list on freecycle for people to pick up



Maybe there are more--please share what YOU are doing!



Here are some things I recently started doing:



*Using glass for drinking instead of plastic



*Reusable shopping bags



*composting even more



*we had a cardboard recycling bin set up at my parents office



And some things I plan to do:



*buy a Hybrid car someday



*build our new shed out of as much salvaged material as possible (this will be soon, I hope!)



*encourage others to do more to help the environment



*learn more about organic gardening



*purchase more products made from recycled materials



*would love to go solar!



I would love hearing from  y'all about what you are doing to help the environment!
