Green Kitchen

Adam and I just bought some new cleaning products. I made about a page of notes out of the chapter I read on greening my kitchen, and we went to Akins (a natural food store) and bought some ec0-friendly kitchen/bathroom essentials. We've decided since we want to be more green, we will gradually start replacing our home essentials to be more "eco-friendly" once they run out (i.e. deodarant...scary stuff there; Trash Bags, Carpet Cleaner, Toilet Paper, Napkins, Etc).

Here are the items we bought:
-Seventh Generation All-purpose cleaner
-Seventh Generation Natural Dish Liquid
-Natural Earth Enzymes Drain Opener
-Pure & Basic Cherry Almond Bath&Body Wash

It's not much, but it's a start. I've only read one chapter in my book, but I LOVE it. I checked it out from the library, but I've already convinced Adam to buy it...I'll never be able to remember all of this information.

So...go look for a natural foods/market store in your area, and go eco-friendly. Seriously, this book has scared me to make a difference. The next items on my list are biodegradable garbage bags from Seventh Generation. I also want to get toilet paper from Seventh Generation, but Adam thinks it'll be too rough. I said "don't knock it til you try it". So...we'll see.

And, I leave you with some facts on how much we can save this planet just by using 1 package of biodegradable trash bags from Seventh Generation:
"if every household in America replaced just 20 tall kitchen drawstring trash bags made with virgin plastic with 20 bags made with 65% recycled bags, we would save 39,000 barrels of oil, enough to heat and cool 2,200 US homes for a year, and 720,000 cubic feet of landfill space-thats 1,100 full garbage trucks worth. We'd also have 30 million fewer pounds of air pollution" -pg131
