My Not so GREEN confessions

Ending Earth Week on a BANG…

  • I failed at composting.  I could have bought worms, but they gross me out.
  • DH started collecting rain water to water the lawn and plants and the microbiologist/germaphobe in me is thinking about the bacteria brewing is sitting water… even worse… the potential mosquito family that might inhabit there soon.
  • I tried cloth diapering and the best I can do is a hybrid – gDiaper inserts with BambinoMio covers.  at home ONLY.  cause I’m lazy.  and I don’t want to carry a stick around with me.  I will TRY again.
  • Looking at my basement I realize we’re pack rats.  We could be worse, but I see a lot of waste.
  • I never turn off my computer because waiting for it to boot each time is annoying and I’m on it every 5 minutes anyway.
  • Yet leaving a charger plugged in without something charging annoys the crap out of me.
  • I’ve still got a bottle of bleach in my house when the GREEN cleaners just don’t quite cut it.
  • I do so much laundry everyday, I imagine it’s not very green.  Will I hang my laundry out to dry?  NOPE…
  • My DD litters… it’s a horrible phase I’m trying to rid of.
  • I try to always go green but if the price is too high, I have more of a tight budget than room to be green.
  • My daughter fills her bathtub way too high with water… to go swimming of course.
  • I buy a lot of reusable grocery bags and have yet to use them on a regular basis.  I argue that we need the grocery bags anyway for garbage bags.  It’s green because we don’t buy garbage bags.

    Don’t be so hard on yourself. Don’t they say, every little bit counts?
