No longer near death

Well I am happy to report that I am no longer feeling like I am going to die. I know what you are thinking. You are thinking she is just being overly dramatic. Well you are probably right but still trust me if I coughed much more or had to leave work early many more times I think death would have been imminent.

So now that I am feeling better it gives me time to obsess over something other then the meds that I am taking. My new obsession is “being green”. Now I know that some of you are thinking that you have been green for decades but trust me now that Al Gore tells me in detail that this is happening in my generation and it could really affect me personally I am taking action! I mean I grew up in the “me” generation so I need to take action because it is going to affect me!

So onto the steps that I have taken so far, which began with watching the movie, “Inconvenient Truth”. Al told me that the oceans could raise 20 feet and that my not recycling was making it worse so out I went to get the tools to make the change. Here is what I have done so far:

Bought recycling bin and started to use it.
Bought hook to hang keys on so that I can get at recycling bin on patio
Bought compact fluorescent bulbs and put them in high use lights.
Signed up for NC Green Power
Turned heat down
Turned heat back up a little (the girls and I can only take so much!)

I will keep you updated on how things go but so far so good. I have always tried to purchase things from local sources but I am going to make a commitment to go to the farmers market more this year. I think my first foray will be right before Mom & Dad come to visit at the end of this month.
