We...Hello Anonymous and thank you for the comment! We have found ourself in a very similar situation. We moved our two homes into one when we moved in together, but also were trying to save money since we had moved to a much more expensive city. The environmentalism just sort of happened, I'm not sure what the exact cause was. I used to be frustrated because it just seemed like there was so much we weren't doing, then we started adding things slowly and now we're pretty good. It doesn't mean that we are perfectly green by any stretch of the imagination, but we are definitely doing better than we were. All of the things that each person does to help makes a difference!jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946509134118928375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762188249438899865.post-50750143314797596082011-04-22T15:24:23.128-07:002011-04-22T15:24:23.128-07:00Love the blog Jaime... :)

I now better understand the value of space and efficiency. I also have a much better understanding of the value of a dollar, considering I now have to provide for myself.<br />I have never been very environmentally aware in the past, but coming to the condo, I realised that I actually was much more 'green' than I thought. For example, we had space under the sink for only one garbage container and no recycling bin or organics bin. That was actually one of the first changes I made to the kitchen... I built a pull-out garbage and recycling bin in one of the cupboards. Now, I only take the garbage out once every three days rather than at the end of each day. I was also used to buying large quantities of various items and found that at the end of each week, I was throwing away tons of food that had gone bad. Now, I have learned to buy smaller quantities, more often, to reduce the amount of waste.<br />I have to say... I'm quite proud of myself! I never considered myself an environentalist... but I think there may be some green hidden somewhere inside!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
