SPT on Wednesday

SPT LOGO

Lelly's question this week is: If this is your first earth day spt, do you consider yourself a part of "the green generation?"

I would have to say that we are not a very "green" family.

I drive this:

We use these, ALOT of these:

We live in the desert, yet we still have this:

The grass that takes alot of water, not the dog. Other than I don't really consider Harley very "green" either!

And I still have this horrible habit:

But we are making changes.

The boys have decided to make a statement against waste:

We have converted some fixtures with these:

We do reuse these. I just need to find a better way to store them:

We don't have curbside recycling where we live, but there are recycling bins at the school. So I have started recycling these:

But my favorite "green" items in my house are these:

My HE washer and dryer. They almost make doing the laundry fun. Ok not really at all, but if you have to do laundry it is cool have a great washer and dryer to do it in.

  4. It looks like you're doing just fine with your "green" efforts.

    I got the new washer/dryer a couple of years ago...I'm not convinced that I like them any better than my old ones. Each wash is at least 50+ minutes per load!

    Love your boys t-shirts...too cute!

  5. We are in the same boat. I too drive an SUV, use lots of diapers, live in the desert and have real grass, and drink lots of water bottles. Those t-shirts are the best.
