I wish there was a way of prohibiting the delivery of all the advertising letters I get every day, e.g., "You are qualified for a new credit card." Please guys and gals save the trees! I am not reading this stuff anyway.

We are already pretty conscious about our water usage. The only thing I can think about at the moment is a new dishwasher and a new washing machine when the old ones break down.

We are planning on insulating the interior water pipes (in the crawlspace) as well as remodeling the shower with a water saving shower head. However, this is a challenge for next year.

We are starting to use the compost for our vegetable beds as we do have compost bins in the yard. It is one of the the best fertilizers you can get. For sure the cheapest.

Batteries can be recycled in certain stores, e.g. Batteries + Bulbs or other electronic department stores. There is s a recycling facility in basically each county/ larger community where you can recycle most of your items, incl. big appliances. Some do require a fee.

On our lot we are establishing a vegetable garden with some beds for herbs. We have a beautiful front yard with a lot of spring flowers popping up. The back yard has larger sections of basalt rock so we don't have to water a huge area with lawn.
