For posting each day this month. oh well. . . here's a shortened summary version for August 1-4th. We were on vacation away from technology well. . . until yesterday. . . and enjoying every minute of being away from technology. So I am not going to let that 'technological' glitch deter me from the days that I am one with technology. So August's theme is GREEN! There are so many things to talk about for the GREEN theme, like the environment, recycling, the many things that are GREEN, how to live more GREEN, etc.
So I'll start by talking about how we try to save energy and resources in our house. If you read my last post, I highly encourage my girls to use ice cubes to make cold water instead of running the water for 10 minutes to get cold tap water! There are many other ways we attempt to be "greener" too! We have a composter and are teaching the girls that food waste can actually be made into energy for our new garden. I believe this fall we'll have enough to mix into our garden soil for a great spring planting next year! Then there are the usual, turn off the lights before leaving a room, close doors behind you, wearing certain clothing items more than once, using the same glass/cup for the entire day, etc. These are sometimes hard things for all of us to do, especially when we are not used to doing some of these things! So green, is the theme for August. We'll see how many green topics I can write about! So happy blogging and reading~
