Resources for Green Living

I know I am not alone in taking the month of September to reevaluate my habits, and so it makes sense to that the Ohio State University Extension department has been sharing new resources for Sustainable Living at this time.

Reading through this site inspired me to round up three resources I've checked out this month, while checking in with myself about my own household habits:

• OSU Extension Sustainability PDF, Tips of Packing Waste-Free Lunches. I am a home-composter and try to brown-bag lunches to work in reusable containers. But some of these tips got me thinking of new ways to improve my routine. (For example, single-use napkins are currently a staple of my office kitchen.) I so appreciate this document!
• One of my best friends in the world committed, with her family, to living without a car--beginning this month. While she is honest about some of the challenges or realities of a car-free life, her blog describes the hidden and unexpected joys of this lifestyle. You should check out and subscribe to her blog, here. You will feel uplifted by every post!
• The MOM's Organic Market near me recently promoted its denim recycling program, for two weeks in September. The textiles collected become thermal insulation material. So cool!
