Going Green. Our recent Green, Clean, Environmentally friendly efforts!


Lately, I have been really trying to stock the fridge, pantry, and laundry with as many organic and earth friendly products as I can... as you know it's so bloody EXPENSIVE to live green!  If nothing else it has certainly taught me to be frugal with my detergents and cleaning products.  I don't know about you, but all the laundry detergents I have tried lately have been really ineffective, and I have had to go back to the old faithfuls.  If you know of one that works please let me know!  I have found a product line that looks beautiful, I think they stock it at domayne of all places http://www.murchison-hume.com/  it looks beautiful, maybe I'll start stocking up as I run out of the nasty stuff. 

We have found that our general rubbish bin has been reduced to half- full at the end of the week thanks to our compost heap... and WOW, does it get the plants going! It's so liberating to be semi-self sufficient.  It's an incredible feeling to know that your doing your bit for the environment and your health.  We are loving the local organic honey, and chocolate, and we have been buying as many local products, (organic or not) as we can.  Organic Weet-Bix is a big one for us, as we eat so much of it.  I'm  trying to buy as many organic staples as I can now... I guess if you can afford to go completely organic, then buying organic for the things that you eat the most is the best option.

Big Love, Tam x
