small changes
Tuesday, August 14, 2007Labels: be green
Josh and I are slowly trying to change certain things we do to be more environmentally friendly. I realized that it's pretty discouraging if you feel like you have to change everything all at once. Little things though, can make a difference.
I finally got a Sigg bottle to replace using plastic water bottles. Next up we're hoping to get a faucet water filter, like the PUR faucet mounts. (We just have to have the money for it!) This would cut out the huge plastic bottles of water we buy a couple times a month.
Every time we go somewhere and use my Envirosax, we get comments on them. People want to know where we got them, how we like them... I'm getting less strange looks and more "I need those" looks.
I am currently reading The Lazy Environmentalist by Josh Dorfman. That is a wealth of information! I have also been bookmarking sites left and right. Here are some to check out.
"Plastic bags are killing us" Article on Salon News - Very interesting little video of a recycling center in San Francisco
Ecogeek - Updated daily with all kinds of geeky technological ways to save the environment
How can I recycle this? Suggestions for reusing and recycling just about anything

It is so overwhelming to think about all the stuff we shold be doing to save the planet. You have the best approach...
I'm trying to make small changes, too. It's hard when you're so used to doing things a certain way. But I'm going to take a look at The Lazy Environmentalist to see what else I can do. Thanks for the ideas!
If you want, it's a little more work, but will do in the meantime, you can buy the PUR pitchers for like $20 and then you can cut out the giant bottles now while you save for the faucet. :)
Eunice, I ordered my Sigg from delight.com because they were doing free shipping at the time. They're sold out now but you can order from the Sigg website.
