Hi Guys

As I have explained my quest to live greener started when my wife and I had our daughter in 2007, I am learning all the time the things that I can do to leave a positive footprint.

Around a year ago now I thought I was really cool because my recycle bin was full and that I was doing my part to rid of my waste positively but after learning more, having a full recycle bin has its negatives.

I was using and buying so much things that were packaged so my quest was to reduce my waste, I started by buying a fruit and vegetable organic box for the week which stopped me constantly going to the shops for food, which meant using less gas, less packaging and saving money as well as the environment.

I invested in a product called soap nuts, see my article on this, which replaced all my laundry and house detergents again saving on packaging. Soaps Nuts are natures laundry detergent that comes straight from a tree and it does just as good a job as any of those chemical detergents.

Thinking about wether I need a particular item before buying has helped me not to spend so much which also stops packaging, so these are some of the things that I have done and I truly feel cool now because I no longer have a full recycle bin.

It is easy to go green, take a look at your home and see how you can reduce your waste. I would love to hear about how you do this
