2009 Green Changes!

See related article

Living in Europe, Munich, Germany to be exact, generally means you pay for your water. Members of my basketball team let their fellow teammates shower while they lather up. The people than exchange their shower rites-easy! We have changed our dishwasher cycle to a shorter one-from 120 minutes to roughly 35. The washing is still done for whites at 60 degrees C but the others at 30 degrees C. I utilize a bollerwagen-a stronger version of the little Red Flyer-to do our grocery shopping so no auto involved. Still looking for more alternatives-including local shopping!

Good luck on your projects for 2009!
