no impact man

just watched "no impact man" last night. Although a little extreme I hope more people out there feel the need to better our earth. I definitely feel like I make efforts in preserving nature. Recycling has been a huge part of my life for many years. Also buying used is one of my favorite things to do!! If you have never been to a thrift store before, you are totally missing out on all the fabulous things out there. Buying local produce or growing your own has great benefits on the environment as well as the increased nutritional value! Finding ways to organically fertilize and pesticide are easier and cheaper than stuff you buy in the store. You can see in my blog that some things work great, while others... Well don't, but I figure it's trial and error. I would say the areas in my life that need improvement are... Juice and milk containers, although recycled, I would like to cut them out of my buying altogether. Any ideas? I want to plant an orchard with many fruits to juice myself, but trees are expensive and it may be a while before that dream is a reality. Also, as soon as my goats kid, it will open opportunity to milk them. So I guess I'm on the right path, but for now... I may switch to frozen juice to reduce packaging and look for a local dairy to buy milk from.
