Reduce, reuse, recycle

I screwed up my font and I can't fix it. Bummer.

So the other day I wrote about how I bought the Lysol soap dispenser. My post received--hmmm, let's say--an interesting response from someone I don't know. I thought it was over the top. But whatever.

But it did make me think about what I try do to be environmentally friendly.

We recycle: bottles, cans, cardboard, junk mail, etc.

We compost in our kitchen and in the outside green bin.

We run our sprinklers only a few times a week and at night to maximize the soaking time and keep evaporation to a minimum.

We have lowered the water in our toilet tank by placing two bricks in the tank.

We use reusable bags when shopping at the grocery, Target, etc.

We water our garden in the evenings.

We are a one-car family with public transport used on a daily basis.

We used to live in a townhouse in Phoenix many years ago. That complex did not offer recycling, just garbage. We took it upon ourselves to buy bins and recycle our cans and bottles.

We do what we can. And those are just the things I can think of.

And I do wish that many items you have to buy (wipes, cleaners, etc.) used much less packaging.

Also, after cleaning the litterbox I really don't want to touch a soap pump. That's nasty.
