Thanks for trying to show more people how easy it can be to “go green.” This movement is such an important effort today. And I will definitely try to reduce my use of plastics and look up info on making cleaning supplies

Uma & Athlyn: Thanks for the nice comments.

Athlyn: Yes, I’ve been reading lately about certain plastics can leech into water or other edibles. Very scary! At least one of the plastics (I think #7) has BPA which mimics estrogen and apparently is linked to breast and prostate cancer. Yikes.

Many people would like to live greener but can’t afford to do so. This article offers practical cost-saving tips.

I just read an article about how potentially harmful plastic is to store water or food in because of the cancer-causing substances it releases when heated or chilled. I liked your point about thinking about the containers items come in and opting for reusable containers so that they don’t end up in a land fill.

Joni: Thank you! We do have the same passion for living more eco-friendly. Hehe, I remember you spotting my comment about recycling on the Hot Pot article ; ). Also, I agree that "going greener" doesn't need to be hard - often people think it requires buying new approved things, but reducing overall consumption is the greenest method (especially when you already clothes, a car, a home - why put those to waste if they are still working?).

Ruby: Thanks so much! Yeah, I think these are simple suggestions. I try to follow all of them. But of course, I need to remind myself, too. Especially about powering down the computer at night! I do forget sometimes.
