Most food you buy in the supermarket travels hundreds of miles before getting to your table, and vitamins, minerals and nutrients are lost along the way. Choosing locally grown, organic vegetables, meats and dairy products as often as possible lessens your family’s exposure to pesticides and boosts your local economy.
Read labels! Know what is in your food, your cleaning products and your beauty supplies. Do not leave the water running while you are brushing your teeth. Use barrels or large tubs to collect rain water, and use it to water plants and flowers. Hang up your towels and use for several days before washing. It is not necessary to wash a towel after only one use. Turn off the lights when you leave the room. Adjust heating and air conditioning when you are not going to be home all day.
Recycle! Use color coordinated receptacles for paper, plastic, glass and aluminum. If you recycle and utilize a compost pile in your backyard, you will not need a trashcan at all. Exercise daily. Yoga is relaxing and strengthening at the same time. Children should play outside more and spend less time in front of the TV and other electronic equipment. Playing outside exercises their bodies and their minds as they use their imaginations and creative abilities to entertain themselves and socialize with their friends.
There are many ways to be eco-friendly. To learn more about being an eco-mom, check out my niece’s website: http://experimentalwifery.com/
