[quote=Anonymous]My family is such a mix of wasteful and green.  :oops:

[b]I guess "the good":[/b][/u]
1. We used cloth diapers, not disposable. 
2. I use a menstrual cup and cloth pads, not disposable. 
3. The entire family is vegetarian. 
4. We air dry a lot of our clothing
5. We do not use very many paper towels (usually 6-10  rolls per year)
6. We never use paper napkins.
7. Our dog waste bags are biodegradable. 
8. We compost and recycle as much as possible.
9. We have very little lawn, but the lawn we do have is not treated with chemicals, nor do we bag grass clippings.
10. We don't use plastic store sacks or plastic wrap. The few Ziploc bags we use get washed and reused.

1. We do use Keurig pods.
2. We have far too many clothes and frequently change our clothes too often, which means we do a lot of laundry.
3. We use wrapping paper.
4. We use a ton of electricity due to air conditioning, television, internet, lights, music, and so on.
5. We have some lawn.
6. We throw away too much food because it goes bad before we consume it.
7. We have cars and drive too much.
8. We have too much stuff. Toys, crafts, clothing, and "stuff" fills our home.
9. We eat out too often. 
10. We throw away too much packaging due to online shopping.[/quote]
