The eco blogs have not been forgotten.
There was the bread maker (eco blog no 10), which we have used religiously since purchase. If we are not saving on travel to the bakery (since we shop anyway), at least we are saving on plastic bags for new bread loaves. And we are certainly eating tastier, healthier bread. (I have moved from almonds and dried apricot to chocolate and cinnamon…so not lower in fat, just lower in enzymes and preservatives.)
The latest eco purchase involves a touch top bin for the kitchen with a plastic bin insert and handle. The insert can be carried easily and emptied straight into our bigger bin out back. We have been pretty good at re-using plastic bags generally, but now that we have cut out the kitchen bin bag, we think we’ll save over 100 large bags per year. Not bad.
We have also been making our way through the howies "do lectures". Some good motivation to be more pro-active. A few to go before we crack into the new series to take place this summer.
The topic for our last eco blog (12 of 12) will be a competition between MegaDob and I since he is planning a wee something, and I have also been gardening up a storm for our home grown vegetables, doubling the size of our plot and converting the living room into a plant nursery...
