I’m So Green

So, Mike and I are about as conservative as they come, but we’ve been doing some crazy things lately.

Like using canvas bags for shopping. When I go to Garage Sales, I try to snap up as much as I can. They usually go for 5 cents or so. This is after Wal-Mart the other day:

We also have a garden that we haven’t put any type of pesticides on. We’re starting to get real vegetables from it! We even put our grass clippings and discarded foods (apple cores, potato peels, etc.) in a compost bin.

Mike has been biking to work 3 days a week. We’re saving a bunch of money, and he’s getting in pretty good shape.

We also stacking our newspapers together and actually recycling them!

Now, if the Wittmanns can do it, I know you can!

Some might say that’s a study in contrasts–that you would be all “green” and put your groceries in reusable bags–while shopping at Wal-Mart, the epitome of all that is evil with corporate, capitalist America. However that would not be me, seeing as I lived near Wal-Mart headquarters for five years and grocery shopped there exclusively. So I just find it amusing. :)

I thought that was rather ironic, too. :D

Andrew and I have been biking to work/school a few times a week, too. Good stuff!

I must say, though (warning…cheese factor) that a girl must save some green…while going green.

You can quote me on that.
