Going Green for 2015

This year as part of my 2015 goals I decided to go more green and reduce the amount of waste that I generate.    This was all brought on from a vacation I took where the beautiful beach was littered with plastic containers and bottles from everyday items.  It made me mad, but then I thought I only have myself to blame as I was a consumer of the same type of items.

This blog will chronicle my journey to be more waste free over the next year.    I have given myself four rules to follow.

1)  Only use re-usuable cups - so that means bye-bye disposable coffee cups.
2) Compost
3) Buying nothing new for 1 whole year, so I am going to have to be resourceful or go without some things.  I can accept new gifts, but I have told my family that for birthdays and holidays either don't get me anything or instead give an experience.
4) Buy food in bulk rather than packaged food and using my own containers and bags to put these items in at the grocery store.
