Welcome !

I know its hard , trying to be green on a budget but I think we can all do it together! I DO want feedback and ideas , tell me how you do green things in your area that help your life, and by al means if you know of a step Im missing to make my life greener please tell me !
For example I believe in sustainability.
I grow a garden I raise sheep. Sheep exude co2, but I spin the wool and use the feces in my compost. We do eat what we grow , but we do not feed hormones or unnecessary chemicals. I feed my animals my weeds from my garden and they make it so we do not mow. I have cordoned off areas in my yard, that I can allow the ranging of sheep goats and my horses. so we might at most weed whack along the house 1 or 2x a year.. but rarely mow.
its time for the gardens to go in, I read mother earth news and used their ideas for a no till garden , which I have to say is probably looking like my best garden ever. but one of the things I do , regularly, I shop at my grocery store and buy a lot of local produce when it is in season. I dehydrate peaches, and put them in jars,I freeze them , I can them , and I do the same with all of the other veggies I possibly can . so that we buy very little from any distances.

I do not buy pre-mixed yogurts and more, things I can easily mix here at my home...
I do get my old sour cream containers, and re-use them for yogurt, and fruit in the fridgs.

I wash out and re-use baggies when they held frozen cleaned veggies. not meats.

we have on each pay day , purchased a 3 pack of the long life light bulbs, until now, the whole house has them. If you do not like the cold blue light, use a cream colored shade...
We wash everything in cold water, and dry using a clothes line.
and I have eliminated all anti bacterial products from my home. soaps and cleansers that claim to be anti bacterial have shown to be harmful to the environment.
so as an alternative, I use peroxide... bleach... and my all time fave is chlorhexadine.
thats good for direct skin injuries etc..
in different labeled bottles, for different applications.

I am looking to add good informative links
articles and tips
to this blog on a regular basis !
now Im off to work on it some, add some photos and more, but until tomorrow, how challenging can you make being green? dosent there "have to be an easier way?"
