It's easy being green
I just got done watching the finale of the Biggest Loser: Families. I'm addicted to that show. It's crazy how much weight they lose and how hard they work to do it...it's inspiring to me, not because of the weight loss but because of how fit they get. I'm at a healthy weight (I keep losing since I'm breastfeeding) but I feel out of shape because I only work out 3 days/week right now. Hopefully, the new year will change that by the arrival of an elliptical...
The new year will bring alot of changes. One thing I want to do is to be as "green" as possible. Being green is all about creating the least environmental impact as you can, and it is actually pretty easy. The biggest thing one can do to be green is do minimize consumption. Yes, that's right...and it's pretty easy. For instance, don't go out to eat fast food very often. Fast food often has alot of packaging. Minimizing fast food consumption is not only good for your health but good for the environment. Another thing...I'm eating less meat. Meat comes from animals who consume and create waste. It is also healthier to eat less meat, since eating alot of meat can cause colon cancer. We also have reusable grocery bags so less plastic bags are consumed...drink less bottled drinks...reuse silverware, plates, and cups. For Christmas we have a living tree. We did this last year and it worked out great, just decorate a potted tree and plant it in the spring. Unplug appliances when not in use. Use the hand dryer instead of paper towels. Pay bills and store them online. Going "green" is very easy. The only thing I need to work on is diapers...Dante doesn't use cloth diapers. But I'm trying to make up for it by doing all the things I talk about above, and recycle the rest.
Ok, that's it for now. Don't forget to check the baby blog!
