I buy local produce as much as possible to avoid both the cost of shipping and the packaging which I hate.
I plant a small container vegetable garden
I use cloth napkins and real dishes to avoid paper products
I have researched and use "green" cleaning supplies
I drive a car that gets 32 mph; next car will be electric I hope
I attempt to recycle--Walton County makes this more difficult than it should be IMO
With the help of my five year old granddaughter, I have found a thermos and given up juice boxes
I bought a water filter pitcher and do not buy plastic bottles of water anymore
I have changed out all my light bulbs
I have a dehumidifier and use the water it collects from the air to water my plants and garden

Glenda, thank you for being the first to post. I'll copy this to the website.
I would also like to have an electric car one day - perhaps when battery technology improves. Have you visited the guys at SunElectro in Panama City? They have retro-fit several cars to electric and they keep an old VW in the shop for demonstration. It's cool. You can open the gas flap and plug it in.Posted 04-29-2009 at 05:06 PM by Chandra
