I’m a bit of a closet greenie – but I must confess, I’m not entirely sure if it’s because:
- I want to do my bit to save the planet;
- I like to save a bit of money; or,
- It’s fun!
Growing Vegies
I love to grow my own vegies, and enjoy a daily wander in the vegie patch to see what’s new. I’ve had some notable successes – (shallots, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, sweet potatoes, and passionfruit, to name just a few), and some epic gardening failures – but it’s all experience, and it’s all fun.
And nothing beats the taste of your own fresh produce!
Recycling
These days, it’s commonplace for each household to have a water tank, and recycling bin.
But I also love to recycle our vegie scraps in a compost heap, which is then used to nourish the vegies I’m growing.
(Funny story: the time I was digging in my compost heap and yelled excitedly, “I’ve got worms!” for all the neighbourhood to hear!)
Op shopping is another great way to recycle – and regular readers will know that I am a keen op shopper (check out my op shopping tips here!)
Thinking Solar
When it comes to the laundry, my motto is: Why use a dryer when the sun does the job for free?!
But that’s only the start of how we can embrace solar energy!
With teenagers and young adults in the house, our power bills are nothing short of ridiculous – meaning that solar panels are an obvious solution.
That’s where Australian Solar Quotes comes in handy. Not only is there a simple solar savings calculator (if I can use it, anybody can – click here to use) – but they can also supply you with three quotes, to make the whole process as stress free as possible!
So tell me, what sort of things do you do that would qualify you as a bit of a closet greenie?!
