Adventurously Green

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

Throughout this year, A. and I have been working to become a little greener in our life. Partly because we feel like we should, partly because it’s often cheaper. (Composting saves me from having to pay extra for Concord trash pickup, for example.)

This morning I got to “Adventurously Green” on Practically Green. I think it’s a nice little accomplishment. (And, I get a pretty tree!).

If you’re interested in seeing how green you are (and, at the same time, testing out my new product..), take the how green am I quiz. I’d love to hear what you think (and how we compare).

Eco-renovation

Green Living has been on my mind a lot lately, and it will probably dominate this blog for a while as I figure things out. I’m working on plans to improve health, reduce stuff, save energy and conserve water. We’ll see how well it works. At least I have a pretty good green living category on Serendeputy, so I can usually find some pretty good ideas.

One of the best series I’m following right now is Eco-Renovation on the CS Monitor site. The writer is renovating a century-old farmhouse and is chronicling her quest. All sorts of good ideas in there.

Marital Green Spats

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Susan, over at the Practically Green blog, writes about when couples fight over how green to be.

I’m sure some couples have serious green battles, particularly if one person is just starting to think green and the other isn’t there yet . I feel pretty lucky that our green differences seem to lead only to a few eye rolls and snarky comments.

Are fights over the goddam paper towels this generation’s version of fighting over the new set of golf clubs? I hope not. One of our resolutions this year is to be a little greener — not to upend our life, but to be a little bit better. My green living tag over at Serendeputy is helping me out…
