This blog started out as a blog full of green tips for 20-somethings, so green living is near and dear to my heart.
To read about somee small (and big) ways in which we’re trying to live more simply and lightly:

Borrow instead of buy books.
Buy hormone-free, organic dairy when we can.
Buy in bulk to avoid packaging.
Buy second-hand clothing.
Clean everything with baking soda and vinegar.
Cloth diaper our son.
Collect shower water to flush toilet.
Compost. (err, not right now)

Do ‘Buy Nothing’ month once or twice a year.
Don’t buy paper towels (even in public).
Don’t shower daily.
