Going Green Without Going Broke?
Ok I’m trying to go green and be more friendly to the planet, I do actually care. But everything green is so expensive!! I’ve switched to a few green things, cleaning products mainly. But I see that biodegradable recycled paper towels are $3 a roll when I can get regular ones for $1 a roll. As eco friendly as I’d like to be I can’t afford to start paying triple for things.
I see some people have gone ‘off the grid’ as they like to call it. I wish I had the money and land to set that up. But all I have is 4 acres and with 2 horses it’s not like I can start a huge garden and farm my own food animals.
I’d love to hear from anyone who can help me be as green as possible, but on a budget and with only a very small amount of land.
I already know about conserving electricity and water. I’m on my own well system but still have to use government electricity since installing solar is so ridiculously overpriced.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys!
I did buy some of those reusable shopping bags after work last night. I totally forgot about using cloth baby diapers instead of paper towels, jeez talk about an extended blonde moment!
We’ll have a garden and we’re going to get a couple of goats, but it’s only going to reduce what we buy at the store, not stop us entirely from going. But yes, I should plant some fruit trees and berry bushes where I can. Keep in mind, this 4 acres has my house and yard on it as well, it’s not a spare 4 acres, 4 acres total.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I’ll get started on those things ASAP.
WILLOW
