Earth Week!

Y'all know I'm a rather crunchy mama (see later in this post), so obviously I'm going to say "hooray Earth Week!"  For those who share this viewpoint, check out the "Celebrate Earth Day All Week" blogging event.



I'm excited to see what the giveaways are!

Some ways that we try to live green:
-Cloth diapering and cloth wipes
-HE washing machine
-Composting and vegetable gardening, and using a rain barrel for our irrigation
-Upcycling clothes and other fabric to make baby clothes
-Recycling, of course
-Eating real food in its natural state (cuts out the whole processing, which uses a lot of energy)
-Bicycling/walking as preferred modes of transportation (when it's warmer than 10 degrees out)
-Bringing own bags to stores
-Trying to buy local as much as possible (cut down on transportation, support our local economy)

What do you do?
