Blog Action Day

What are we doing personally to reduce our carbon footprint?

Our family has been making modest efforts to "go green". These efforts include:

1. Making an effort to recycle more.
2. Turning off lights, unplugging chargers and unused electronics.
3. Intending to turn in Jeep for more efficient car in January (Hybrid? Diesel?)
4. Using string bags/reusable bags at the grocery store.
5. Supporting local farmers and being a member of a CSA.
6. Refraining from printing every little thing on my computer. Doing more online.
7. Stopped buying water in plastic bottles, using Britta filter system and reusable bottles.

Wish I could use solar panels!

Here are some tips from Scientific American about solutions for climate change.
