It's Blog Action Day, and the theme this year is 'The Environment'. I've got a recap of the things we've done in the last year that make a difference - none of them are hard!
1. Eat seasonally and eat less meat.
Yeah, I know - I'm always on about cooking. We're getting much better at buying things in season - they're cheaper, tastier, and generally better. Can't lose, really.
2. Be a Nalgenie
I'm a little bit mad about my Nalgene bottles - I have my big 'I'm a college student' one and a dinky little one that's much more...er...acceptable to carry around. They go in the dishwasher once a week or so and make me v. happy.
3. Hang out the laundry
Ok, this one is mostly because we don't have a dryer. But I haven't had a dryer in 2 years and I don't really miss it. We use eco washing liquid, too - it gets most things clean, although if we're doing a particularly grubby load, I cave and use the Fairy tablets.
4. Get a Mooncup (or a DivaCup).
I've been through this one...check it out!
5. Compost and recycle
We've been doing these for a while - I'm psyched for our happy compost to dig the plants into in the spring.

great suggestions :)
so this cup thing... don't mean to be gross but do you know anyone who uses it who's small in that department?
It comes in sizes - check the websites!
gosh, what a silly question by 'anonymous' person about sizing for moon cups. everyone knows one can't be too small, that area is stretchy and can accomodate a baby during birth for goodness sakes. okay my rant over.
