Third Annual little Green Project – March 17!
ByIt’s that time of year again! Time for us to start thinking GREEN. :)
As we’ve done for the past two years, on Thursday, March 17 we’ll all have a chance to share anything and everything that has to do with GREEN:
It may be a way you’re saving green (penny pincher ideas!), going green (save the earth!), earning extra green (entrepreneurs unite!), eating more greens (bring on the broccoli!), using your green thumb (woohoo gardeners!), crafting something green (lime colored scarf anyone?)…anything you want to blog about that is in any way related to the color GREEN.
Write about your little Green Project on your blog and make plans to come link up your green post here on Thursday, March 17. (I’ll actually have my little Green Project post up on the night of the 16th at wheneverIgetitdone o’clock.) If you don’t have a blog, please just share your little Green Project idea in the comments section that day!
Spread the news about this Project to all of your blogging, tweeting and facebooking friends. This has been a wonderfully fun way to share money saving, money earning, green eating, green thumbing ideas in years past.
Here’s last year’s little Green Project post…in case you’d like to see how it works: The little Green Project 2010
Have anything green in mind you like me to share that day?

The ways I am green:
Eat mostly organic food.
Use vinegar, water, splash of dish soap and peppermint essential oil to clean almost everything.
Line dry almost all of my clothes.
Garden.
Turn lights on only when needed.
Use appliances and cars until they are truly broken.
Have very little clutter and seldom go to malls.
Cook almost everything from scratch.
Don’t use chemicals in my yard except for very rare circumstances.
Recycle as much as possible.
Has a compost.
Use natural remedies when we are sick. Very rarely use drugs.

Well, The Amazing Husband suggested yesterday that we shut off the electric now that the weather is nice. We spent about a minute imagining our carefree life of barbecuing and living by candle light.. then we realized that the oven is electric. And so is the fridge. And the washing machine. And the COFFEE MAKER.
So that was the end of that. :)

I repurposed four wooden pallets and made my compost bin this weekend. Cost: FREE! And it kept those pallets from…well, wherever old pallets go…?

When I made our menu plan last week (I do two weeks at a time) I made a point to put a green (actually green, not red or yellow or orange) dish with each meal. It’s been very good for us. Plus meal planning saves us green $$$. :)
