We've changed all of our lightbulbs to compact flourescents and we recycle as much as we can. We use cloth napkins instead of paper...we're switching to tote bags instead of plastic grocery bags. I occasionally feel bad for not doing more, but I do what I can and hope it's enough. Great blog! I try to do little things, hoping that they add up.

Not abt the guilt part though. It's the small things that an individual does on a everyday basis that has the biggest impact on our environment. Its abt sustainable actions on an everyday basis and not those big-Hollywood stuff that celebrities engage in. Best. How true! Not abt the guilt part though.

If you don't already have low-flow showerheads and faucets, you should see a reduction in your water bill almost immediately after you install them. This, naturally, assumes you replace all of them at once (which is unlikely). If you do one at a time over a few weeks or months, you'll still see the results, but they'll be less drastic. Thanks for reading and commenting! Namaste, Caleb Awesome, Selene!

I know I use way more water than I should and this would be a great way to reduce our water bill and save the environment.

To be honest, guilt is not high on my list of concerns either, but I do, sometimes, feel guilty that perhaps I'm not doing as much as I can. THAT's really why I blog - to do more.

For some reason guilt annoys me. Aristotle said it correctly, "moderation" is the highest virtue. I don't mind doing things that cause guilt as long as it is not too often. However, things like environmental destruction are aesthetically unpleasing, unhealthy, and disgusting. They also make things unlivable. I’ve never been one for much guilt.
