Thought I'd give a (late) update on my post about the green cement. Last week the Denton City Council voted to buy cement from companies that use the more eco-friendly dry-kiln techniques. Yea!
Those of you who contacted the City of Denton's council, feel free to pat yourself on the back...
A low cost, green eco friendly, healthy natural way to do laundry, generally clean and eliminate aphids and lice is to make a homemade liquid from soapberries which grow on the Chinaberry tree and have been used for thousands of years. They work very effectively.
I began my green journey about two years ago. My 3-month-old son had eczema and I started reading labels. Of course, I couldn't pronounce 2/3 of the ingredients, but I was focused on the fragrance – I was convinced this was the culprit. But, it wasn’t helping. Then the more I learned about what those other ingredients were, the more I thought about all the other things we use/eat/slather on our skin that are not good for us or the environment. Fast-forward to today, we’ve made tons of progress in greening our lives. But, I’ve started to forget the reasoning behind the things we do and that makes it hard to evangelize the green life. So, I started this blog both as a way to help me remember, AND get the word out to my fellow Texans about what they can do and what others are doing.
