I have been toying with the idea of joining a veggie-box program, not least because I hate spending time at the grocery store selecting the different bits and pieces. And I do like the sound of the coconut products, that would be an easy switch for me.<br /><br />My husband is definitely my conscience in environmental matters. We share a hybrid Ford Escape (his pick) and he either bikes or walks to work. Our new furnace is a higher efficiency model (guess who sorted that out) and all our bulbs are CFLs (which I know is the right thing to do, I just wish their light wasn't so 'cold' looking!). We've recycled for ages, but now have a 2-bin system in the kitchen which is great.<br /><br />We do have problems with the length of time hot water takes to reach the master bathroom (I agree, huge waste) but I can't yet bring myself to not flush the toilet after each use. :)Pauline Wileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387098614220322595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-387246719602386903.post-49185002887055300522009-07-29T21:40:16.619-07:002009-07-29T21:40:16.619-07:00Great post!

CSAs rock.<br /><br />and, yes, i am one of those freaks that makes their own laundry soap - and have for something like 7 years now. if you want to *buy* eco-friendly laundry soap for cheaper though, i highly recommend buying it in bulk at your local co-op if you can. you can just bring your own container in each time and fill it up. no waste.<br /><br />great post! so lovely to see like-minded people.goodkarmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081919611303940527noreply@blogger.com
