0 Areas I want to go "greener" in

I said in my intro that I am a light weight green person meaning, I'm probably not green enough to have one of those catchy names like "environmentalist" or whatever the new one is these days... BUT I'm still a little green.

I decided to make a list of things I would like go greener in, as I get better in these areas I will cross the items off the list.

1. Cloth Snack Sacks (found some cute ones on Etsy that have nylon here)
2. Glass food containers. I now have plastic and I have been hearing some awful things about the hormones in them. I would like to move away from it completely. 
3. Unpaper towels (check them out here) {sorry I will not be using unpaper toilet tissue, no thanks.}
4. Cloth baby wipes (I just need to get a pack of baby wash cloths)
5. I would like to try to make my own soap. And I made laundry detergent! Yeah!
6. Cloth menstrual pads (Check out my review of Gem Cloth)
7. Various sized reusable bags to use instead of using grocery bags.

My main reason for wanting to be "greener" is not so much to save the environment although that is important to me, I want to be a bit more self sufficient. I know I have a loooong way to go but, in the case of an emergency I want to still be able to provide for my family. I know in the long run the more I learn to do on my own, the more money we will save as well.  ( I hope that makes sense)

I have always liked to craft and design but, I never thought I would enjoy making things for my family as much as I do. 

If you're wondering why sewing clothing isn't on the list.... *ahem* I don't really like sewing clothing. If it involves reading a pattern and cutting out a million pieces...no thanks.
