The Wanderer

We've been really enjoying the weekly challenge we've been getting at church this month about how "God is green." Our teaching paster, Rob Bell, has been teaching a series by that name (and inviting in outsiders to discuss the same). We've been trying to make some changes in our lives to be more green like God. Here's a quick list--some things implemented, other still under investigation. Who knows, maybe you'll be inspired too:

Changing our incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescents
More open windows, less A/C
Signing up for a drop-off recycling program run by the county where we live
Walking and riding our bike if we can (tough one where we live)
Buying and eating locally produced food, primarily at the local farmers market
We're looking into growing some of our own food
Our next car purchase will probably be a Honda Civic Hybrid
I'm seriously looking into vermiculture for our food waste
We're buying more environmentally-friendly cleaning supplies and other home products
I'm looking into our power company's green generation program where, with a 1.6 cent-per-KwH charge, all our power comes from renewable sources. Specifically 70% wind and 30% land-fill gas. All together, this would probably cost us an average of $15 month.
Brooke signed us up for GreenDimes, a service that saves trees and water and reduces carbon emissions by reducing the amount of junk mail we receive...everybody wins!
