~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am a member and have had great luck with Freecycle. I have given away things of all shapes and sizes. Clothing to Patio Furniture. Most times I post things and they are spoken for and picked up within 48 hours!

Freecycle not only helps you get rid of unwanted things around your house but it make you feel good when you can give it to someone who needs it.

FREECYCLE today!

Going Green




You might be living under a rock if you haven't heard all the media attention about "Going Green".

On this Earth Day I wanted to share the ways that I have "Gone Green"

1. Started recycling
2. Bought reusable containers for water consumption. No more plastic bottles!
3. Using canvas bags or reusable bags for shopping
4. Changed all light bulbs to energy conserving light bulbs
5. Turned the thermostat to 68 degrees for the Winter
6. Grouping errands to conserve gas.
7. Using E85 in Flexfuel compatible Vehicles
8. Washing laundry in cold water
9. Using Public Library instead of buying books

How are you "Going Green"?
