We unofficially started about 3 weeks ago, at the end of each week we go through the garbage bag, and there's usually only a very small amount of gross food garbage thats left..

Whats in the bag is 3 weeks worth of real garbage, cooked chicken bones, dust, dog hair, candle wax leftovers, some small useless pieces of drywall.

Eco Conscious, or just makes sense?

About 9 years ago,would have been September 2000, While brushing my teeth, I thought, What a waste of water.., I , and the kiddos with encouragement, turned off the water while brushing our teeth, We have been doing this ever since..




We also in the older bigger Toilets, filled a washed out margerine tub with rocks, and put it in the back of the toilet, saving 500mls of water each flush, our present toilets are water friendly they use much less water, we have added a fist sized rock into the back of the toilet, saving a bit more water...

And Then theres the Media

I really didnt think this would amount to more than a small write up and a link to the blog, afterall, this is just a small challenge we are doing, but perhaps the coverage might make others give it a try..
