These days everyone seems to be going green. And even if you really don't care about being green, it's real trendy right now to be environmentally responsible. So some folks are spending lots of money on home renovation and new construction that meets the new green standard. Unfortunately, most of us aren't in a position to spend a whole lot of the green.
So, we do what we can in our house to conserve. We've changed all our light bulbs to the energy-saving kind. We've programmed our thermostat to reduce the temperature at night. We use a rain barrel to capture water for our garden.
And we continously sort our cans, bottles, and boxes to reduce the humongous waste pile for future generations.
I don't know about you, but I'm constantly tripping over cans and cartons, overflow from our main recycling bin. The garbage men take the Wednesday load away and the next day I'm at the neighborhood recycling center to get rid of a few more things. It's an ongoing challenge to keep up with The Recyclables. Yes, sometimes I think there is another family living in our garage!
Kermit the Frog was right. It's not easy being green.
