Where are we at part II

Ok the final thing I wanted to talk about, what have we done to offset our carbon footprint? Well at least 3 days a week we are carpooling - huge savings there. Then we are monitoring the temperature at the house (we don't have a programmable thermostat yet - that's next) and turning the temp up during the day and down at night so it is comfortable to sleep in. We bought "green" laundry detergent, dish soap, and glass cleaner, and are about to buy floor cleaner. We have a bagless vaccuum with hepa filters - the bagless part is wonderful and less wasteful! and just today I made homemade bread!! great thing about that is - it costs pennies to make is easy (although time consuming) and has no preservatives in it and tastes about 1000 times better than store bought! go to www.thesimpledollar.com and search for bread for a step by step process and it has pictures - plus your house smells fantastic as well. So turning green has it's advantages in more than just saving money department it also increases the quality of life! (home baked bread yay!) have a wonderful day be back soon!
