Even the thread is from a factory floor! The left over spools, not completely finished but too short to continue to use are gathered into the trash. I have a friend that gave me a huge box of them. All of my bags and dolls are sewn with the thread. Fabrics and embellishments are all recycled or scraps. I get scraps of fabric from a furniture shop, the little cuts they used to throw out are now being used in my projects. I also use them for the children's art classes I teach.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784363705623730025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662752697533112138.post-14085795152708136842009-04-21T12:12:00.000-07:002009-04-21T12:12:00.000-07:00What Do I Do To Help the Environment?

Let Me Count The Ways . . . <br /><br />DH and I use cloth napkins instead of paper ones and shop rags instead of paper towels.<br /><br />We use graywater from the shower instead of tap water on the herb garden. We are looking into diverting the washing machine graywater to use for watering the front lawn.<br /><br />We reuse plastic bags several times before recycling them.<br /><br />We recycle paper, cardboard, glass, metal and plastic in our city's curbside recycling program and bring household batteries to Whole Foods for recycling instead of throwing them in the trash.<br /><br />We buy organic produce from a local farmer's market. Dried beans, grains and nuts we buy in bulk from a natural food co-op. We avoid the supermaket (or "the corporate store," as we call it) as much as possible.<br /><br />We walk more and drive less.<br /><br />We have replaced most of our incandescent bulbs with CFLs.<br /><br />We bring our own cloth bags when we go shopping.<br /><br />We turn off our computers at night and unplug them.<br /><br />During the winter holidays, we send e-cards we design ourselves instead of paper cards in the mail.Ericahttp://www.sierrapelonacrochet.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662752697533112138.post-80993585560226512752009-04-21T11:23:00.000-07:002009-04-21T11:23:00.000-07:00I walk instead of drive to the neighborhood shops,...I walk instead of drive to the neighborhood shops, pay bills online (saves paper) and turn the kids favorite outgrown t-shirts into pillows.Janette P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02961376174557252425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662752697533112138.post-65959492036198988972009-04-21T09:32:00.000-07:002009-04-21T09:32:00.000-07:00I'm turning my yard into a natural habitat.

At the moment I'm working on eliminating plastic bags. I have tote bags I take to the grocery store and I bought some reuseable produce bags. I was going through so many each month it was out of control, now I'm feeling much greener!
