My dad hoards containers, I mean I like keeping jars as much as the next gal. But I opened the cupboard above the fridge and there was a plethora of jars & containers.I mean, I can’t move without hearing clinking of glass & fearing that I’ll drop them all on my head. Then forever be known as that blogger that died from an avalanche of jars falling on her noggin. Lame way to die really.

I love that a majority of the containers I buy food in can be saved. But I need some crafts to do with some of these guys. Big plastic containers store art & coloring supplies for us. Glass jars are great for saving leftover & taking tea in your lunch bag. But there are so many you can use before going “Alright, what the heck can I do with these!?!”. HELP! What can I do with these things? Arts & crafts projects for children are welcomed! Anyways…..HELP!!

For instance, it’s probably been two years or so since I’ve bought paper towels. We have an abundance of clean up towels for cleaning up messes, spills & anything that would take a paper towel. I have a drawer just for all these towels. Then when bath towels get sad looking they get cut up & turned into clean up towels. And you might be thinking “Well Pamela, you have to WASH those!”. Yes, yes I do but my white pile of laundry is usually so small it seems wasteful to wash them on their own cycle (we don’t wear much white AT ALL), so it seems to make up for it.

We also have a compost pile in the corner of our backyard for leaves, yard clippings, forgotten fruits/veggies and even the daily coffee grounds. A compost bin is coming soon to certain back porch to ensure all the compostable materials don’t get thrown away. Hopefully these will be good for the plants I plan to plant in the spring!

So there are a few green things we do that come almost naturally to us now. What is something green you do?
