Green Changes: February

I thought I would keep track of the green changes we are making. I've been reading blogs, books and articles and I have really felt the need to make some changes in the products we use and food we eat.

In the month of February we:
*switched to recycled toilet paper (you know the kind with brown stains on it from the previous use - HAHAHA - just recycled paper made into toilet paper - you are so dirty!)
*switched to recycled paper towels, we don't use a lot but what we do use will now be recycled
*switched hand soaps, all purpose cleaner, and wood floor care products to Method brand
*I've started using the back of my grocery receipts for making lists and other notes that used to be written on fresh clean paper
*I've done some research into what I can and cannot recycle and after much WORK (because the city website tells you NOTHING) I located a general list that works for almost every city I'll be posting it by the recycle container to remind myself and I've started putting a paper bag by our various trash cans around the house to put recyclables in them. This will make it easier to recycle because you don't have to leave the room to recycle.
*we've been turning down the heat and putting on more clothes, it doesn't work every day but we are all getting used to not wearing our bathing suits in the house year round :)
*I (just me) switched toothpastes
*finally the biggest one, we've joined a CSA - we are growing a garden so we will just be buying meat and pork shares through them this year, it will be nice to know that we won't be eating sick, tortured and mistreated animals

I don't think we've spent a lot more money making any of the changes, but I certainly feel better about them than our previous choices.
