Great Ways to Go Green with out braking the bank!

April 22nd is Earth Day here--super time to start going green if you're not already. Here  are a few ways our family does out part everyday!





Reusable Lunch Containers – Instead of a brown bag, carry a lunch box. Instead of zip top bags, invest in reusable snack and sandwich bags.
 



Stop Buying Bottled Water -- so many great  drinking bottles out there. Fun way to go green and show a lil style too!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle--There are great reusable bags everywhere!  If you’re not recycling, this is a great week to start! Get the whole family in on it--kids love to recycle bottles if you let them keep the $$$ =)

The Clothesline – Start using a clothesline, and you’ll save on your monthly electric.

Burn Calories, Not Gas – Walking or riding bikes is budget friendly, earth friendly and figure friendly.







These are just a few ways our family goes green at little or no coast...most will save you money. What are some ways your family goes green??

Thrifty Thursday 4/11/2013

With Earth day just 5 days away I thought I 'd share a little photo essay of one great thrifty UP-cycling project we did   my daughter did this past weekend.


A while back we had our bathroom redone...I don't like to throw out anything so I had a medicine cabinet   sitting in the basement and my daughter came to me with a request to use it and make it a nail polish station.


Of course giving the cabinet a NEW purpose was a grand idea!

SO OFF SHE WENT! (me following with camera close behind!!)

Not only did she UP-cycle she'll reduce too because she can see what colors
 she has already and will not buy more--
