Semi-Green (agian)

Its been a long time since our last post due to many family events and life, but hopefully we can get this going again. Its a New Year and the perfect time to start fresh and start living semi-green. We have had lots of new experiences on our semi-green journey and I look forward to blogging about them this year. I have included a few New years tips which we will discuss more in-depth over the course of the next few weeks.

Some simple New years Tips:

--Buy in bulk to save money and packaging (though make sure bulk is bigger packages not lots of smaller packages to get the greener effect).
--Visit your local farmers market for fresh in season produce (yes in many places there is still produce even during the winter though a smaller selection.
--Keep reusable bags in the car so you have them for that quick trip to the store (at many stores this saves money as well).
--Clear the clutter but not to the landfill. This is a great time to give away all of those unused items to goodwill or sell them on E-bay or Craigslist. This let you clear out your house without adding to the landfill and reduce overuse of materials.
