In my old neighborhood with a Home Owners Association, there was a restriction that would not allow us to 'hang out our ''clean'' laundry, let alone any dirty laundry. LOL...<BR/><BR/>So, one would be not using my clothes dryer as much. The second would be, cutting down on junk food and the wasteful containers they come in. Not withstanding all the junk ingredients in junk food, the things I can't pronounce and probably not ingest. Etc.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for giving me a question to keep me thinking. <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://practically-perfect-life.blogspot.com/search/label/About%20Me" REL="nofollow">Sharinskishe</A>Sharinskishehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083826404941486697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527863848547100248.post-38383071491480542702009-03-27T17:24:00.000-04:002009-03-27T17:24:00.000-04:00We're using cloth diapers!We're using cloth diapers!A Psych Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17896613620636463178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527863848547100248.post-29405739169718234382009-03-27T17:05:00.001-04:002009-03-27T17:05:00.001-04:00Instead of using plastic at the market, I have can...Instead of using plastic at the market, I have canvas grocery bags that I re use when grocery shopping.
