Jenn,

It’s nice to “meet” you! Appreciated this post. You may have noticed I mentioned recently reading a book called Go Green, Save Green–sounds like it’s right up your alley. I hope to write about it soon!

I like the idea of using the flour sacks to replace paper towels.

How do you store everything? And do you do those greasies with your dipes, or how do you keep them from smelling till you wait for the wash?

The best way to clean cloth diapers is to pre-rinse them off in the toilet using a Hand Bathroom Bidet Sprayer. So convenient and if you are trying to help the environment (and your pocket book) you can give it a double whammy by virtually eliminating toilet paper use at the same time as you benefit from using it on the diapers, by using it on yourself. I think Dr. Oz on Oprah said it best: “if you had pee or poop on your hand, you wouldn’t wipe it off with paper, would you? You’d wash it off” Available at http://www.bathroomsprayers.com they come in an inexpensive kit and can be installed without a plumber. And after using one of these you won’t know how you lasted all those years with wadded up handfuls of toilet paper. Now we’re talking green and helping the environment without any pain.

Great tips! Click on my name for some more.

One thing you didn’t mention is eating less meat. That not only reduces pollution but frees up grain and water for people to eat and drink, and it saves money too!

Oh i was happy to go though the list and find that we do most of that too! The energy bulbs are pricey to start with but are well worth it, the one we have on the front porch last 5 yrs!! One other thing we do is reusing your water bottles and only using water bottles for when you are out and about cause at home there is nothing wrong with tap water!Love sandy

We do just about all that too. I keep paper towels on hand when the stomach flu hits and a child might not make it to the bucket.

I bought a huge mess of cloth napkins at a garage sale and then bleached them. about 50. I have saved all the old t-shirts and made rags out of them. But I think with the next round I will make some reusable bags.
