Kind of icky, but worth it. Once I switch jobs, I'm going to have to stop composting . . . boo! Perhaps I can convince the family I'll be working for to compost, as a teaching tool for the kids? Here's hoping. (I bet your girls will love digging up worms in the compost!) That idea you have of replacing your yard with native grasses sounds awesome! I bet it's both pretty, and uses less water, too!<BR/><BR/>Shawn -- what are you growing? I wish I could garden -- there are so few joys involved with apartment living. Blech. Hopefully, I can do a little gardening with the kids I'm going to nanny for! Your biking sounds like a cool idea -- you get exercise and energy efficiency! When I sell my car, I plan on using the meager proceeds to buy a bike that is light enough I can haul it up two and a half flights of stairs into my apartment!<BR/><BR/>Leslie -- Isn't that windpower thing so cool? And it's pretty cheap, too, when you consider how effortless it is to make a better environmental choice!Catherine Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840408638057727714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-1145982006525154022006-04-25T11:20:00.000-05:002006-04-25T11:20:00.000-05:00Mine was a 19.

After taking the quiz I'm sad that even though we are so earth conscious we still make too much of an impact.<BR/><BR/>1. I'll compost my kitchen waste. I have no excuse, we have a composter that is still in the box...ugh.<BR/>2. My long-term goal is to replace our grass with native/drought-tolerant plants. Two of our neighbors did this recently & it's lovely.Vicki's Vegan Vicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786229426003858902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-1145927421159115932006-04-24T20:10:00.000-05:002006-04-24T20:10:00.000-05:00Well, we *did* plant seeds to supply some of our o...Well, we *did* plant seeds to supply some of our own veggies this year. We're trying to teach our kids to be more green.<BR/><BR/>AND, if I can find a reasonably priced bicycle, I plan to ride my bike the 2 miles to work while the weather allows.<BR/><BR/>So there you have it -- we'll see how I do keeping up with it.Shawn Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15186686711412505957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-1145924562743898512006-04-24T19:22:00.000-05:002006-04-24T19:22:00.000-05:00So, what's your resolution??So, what's your resolution??Catherine Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840408638057727714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-1145900652665537192006-04-24T12:44:00.000-05:002006-04-24T12:44:00.000-05:00Wow, I guess working close to home helped me some ...Wow, I guess working close to home helped me some -- but I still need a spare planet and a half to let everyone else live like me...<BR/><BR/>Cool link, thanks!Shawn Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15186686711412505957noreply@blogger.com
