I was listening to the radio this morning and heard a great tip for going green on a tight budget so I thought I would share it. Instead of replacing every light bulb in your house with energy star light bulbs, pick 5 of you most commonly used bulbs and replace those. As you all know, I have been taking small steps toward living a more eco-friendly life. Here are a few of things I have done in the past few days that you could also try. I promise that it eventually becomes routine!
-Went grocery shopping with my reusable bags
- Bought organic and locally grown peaches
- Bought a bamboo cutting board (earth friendly)
- Jogged outside in the sun
- Went to an office supply store to ask if they could hold their packing boxes for me instead of buying boxes for moving
- Recycled the packing boxes I did not use
- Raided the university recycling bins for newspapers to use for packing
- Turned off my air conditioner and opened all the windows in my house (beautiful day)
-Made myself organic coffee
- Shopped for new bed linens (found an organic set I plan on ordering)

Good job Roque. I actually told my Sister the other day that when we need to replace the flood lights around the apartment building we manage that to buy the eco friendly ones. I recently discovered them at the hardware store I go to quite often. However I was a little disapointed to find that my new lamp that I was so happy about wont work with an every saving bulb because it has 3 dim settings. However; every other lamp in my apartment and the building hallways are energy saving bulbs. I even made a trip to the recycling center this last Saturday. I need to find a place that I can take paper though.
