(I've encountered people who immediately say "I don't want to have to clean my dish washer every week" when I suggest not rinsing the dishes before putting them into the dish washer...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705651098199854614.post-83328926926342063012008-06-02T00:18:00.000-04:002008-06-02T00:18:00.000-04:00"You know you leave them in there overnight anyway..."You know you leave them in there overnight anyway.

Fruit and veg is now marked if it was picked locally, and they sell locally produced milk. It isn't possible to get everything that way, but it does help.Polenthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14029549865473069051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705651098199854614.post-15513653357481155692008-05-16T00:04:00.000-04:002008-05-16T00:04:00.000-04:00It gets a lot harder to buy local fruits and veget...It gets a lot harder to buy local fruits and vegetables in the far north, though. Like Yellowknife and other such places in the Yukon, NWT, and Nunavut. Or, for that matter, the northern half of the provinces in Canada. :) Lived there, and oh, if we'd had to rely on locally grown stuff, we would have starved.<BR/><BR/>Another tip - cook from scratch, including making your own bread. It's easy, it really is, and it can be done with minimal kneading that even I, intense-joint-pain girl, can do. Or no-knead. <BR/><BR/>Compost. Keep that waste out of the landfill and put it to good use in your garden. And then grow stuff. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Yes, it definitely has the makings of a great magazine piece. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705651098199854614.post-26199710023410442072008-05-14T08:21:00.000-04:002008-05-14T08:21:00.000-04:00If I can light a fire under one person, all these ...If I can light a fire under one person, all these words are worth it!

I really wish more people would realize we've only got one planet, but everywhere I go I see people driving all over in their monstrous gas-guzzling cars. It drives me crazy.<BR/><BR/>I ride my bike to work every day, and take my bike to do most errands. It's totally painless. and yet, I see people jumping in their car to run down to the store 1/2 mile away! I just don't get it.<BR/><BR/>I figure if our kids can ride their bikes from Alaska to Argentina (and their only ten), most people should be able to ride a mile or two to run their errands. Am I so off base?<BR/><BR/>www.familyonbikes.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705651098199854614.post-53560075079294908752008-05-01T15:09:00.000-04:002008-05-01T15:09:00.000-04:00Very nice job!
