Green and Black's

Enjoying the Green Life

1:1 1, 1:1

We live in the black by going green through recycling, composting and water conservation. I keep a jar for coffee grounds, eggshells and veggie matter under the sink. When full I add to my composter. Once gone to mulch, we use this as natural fertilizer. My yard is the envy of the neighborhood with flowers constantly in bloom. In trying to conserve water, we have found we were wasting 3-4 gallons of water while waiting for warm water in our master bathroom shower. We now harvest the clean cold water in a bucket (pre-shower), and use to water plants and flush the toilet. And yes, my husband is a "choco-holic" so we do splurge on high quality chocolate & Veuve Clicquot when the occasion arises.
