Firstly, thanks to everyone who left such supportive comments - I am so glad that you're interested in becoming green - if only a few people on the 'net take this on board then I'll be satisfied that I've done something good!

I mentioned in my last post that I'd make some green promises, and have come up with some. If anyone out in the blogosphere wants to have a go, join in with the same promises, make their own, or just have a day of complete green-ness, then go for it (and leave a comment so that I can see how you're doing!)!

For this month (what's left of it) my green promises are thus:

• Use as few chemicals as possible, in the house and on my body.


• Research alternatives for shampoos, toothpastes (am going to make a batch of stuff tonight to see if it works!) and washing powders.


• Put the three Rs into practise - Reuse, Reduce, Recycle!

In the next couple of days I'll do some posts about green household ingredients, things I know to work, things I use, and things I'm going to be testing! Good luck! :)
