I don’t know everything and I certainly cannot do everything! Although, I am someone who wants to learn, grow and evolve into a more complete and healthy person. By dedicating SavvySassyMoms to all things green this month it has already taught me one thing and that is small things do add up and they can make a difference. I am not trying to be an expert on living fabulously green but I would like to be a little more savvy on the subject. I’m not quite sure I want to become a vegan and riding my bicycle everywhere would just not work for me. I have not changed all my lightbulbs to the more energy efficient ones but here are a couple things that I do DO!
I DO use a Brita Water Filter instead of buying all those plastic water bottles
I DO use Reusable sandwich bags for my kids lunches instead of plastic baggies
I DO use Reusable Bags when I go to the Grocery Store
I DO use Reusable children’s plates/bowls/cups instead of paper/plastic
I Do take short showers and turn the water off when I am brushing my teeth
I Turn off the lights when I am not in the room
I Pay all Our Bills Online
I Donate a lot of children’s clothes and toys to the Salvation Army
I Recycle my cans, papers and plastics
With the help of some Eco-Savvy Mom Blogs I hope to add a few things to that list this year. These girls have loads of information and a whole lot of Eco-Sass!

Thank you so much for including little old me in your recommendations. I am honored to be mentioned. Hot damn! I feel so legit! Dee 🙂
You are right, the little things really do add up! We’re also trying to manage our food waste through planning meals based on what’s in the house, and saved a fair bit of money doing so, I’d imagine! We’re also wearing long sleeves in doors to save on the heating supply! If we all do a little bit, it’ll make a huge difference.
Thanks for the link love!
