We often associate canning, pickling and freezing with something our grandmothers or mothers did. All that time in the kitchen, over a hot stove, making sure it was just right so there was no spoilage. We have all heard the stories of the pressure cookers exploding and the walls being covered with tomato sauce.
But does this help us stay green in anyway? Is this something that has been “modernized” to become more effiecent and worth our effort and time?
The answer is yes!

My daughter and I spent yesterday afternoon going through our recycle bin. I know that sounds a bit like dumpster diving, but we had a purpose, honest we did!
One of the sad things we found out when we moved here is that they only pick up recyclables once every two weeks. For a family that fills up a large trash can of recyclables once a week this can lead to problems. So we are doing our best to conserve space and recycle along the way.
This is a preview of
sorting the recyclables and what do these numbers mean?

I recently had to fill out a survey. One of the questions was, “Are you green even when it is inconvenient?” Well that got me thinking.
When we are in our home it is easy being green most of the time. We shop conscientiously of what we buy. We make sure we buy everything we can naturally. We make sure if we buy things in containers that they are recyclable. We carry cloth bags in our cars to carry home our purchases. We cook from scratch to give our families the best nutrition and variety. These are all things we do to live green and naturally.
