This has been a very productive weekend. This is my year to become more environmentally conscious. I have only implemented changes to our lifestyle for the last week, and already I can see a huge difference. The reduction in our household waste is mind-blowing, and I am really glad I made the decision.
In the Petty household we no longer:
accept bags from retailers
use paper plates
drink bottled water
throw away plastic, paper, glass or aluminum
Instead we now:
carrying reusable bags for groceries and other retail purchases
drink filtered tap water
and recycle
I have also decided to cook at home more and spend less money eating out. Hopefully this policy will extend to frugality in general. I must say although it is still very early, Ithink I am doing pretty well so far.
Baby steps.
