Every Little Bit Helps - Going Green at Home

by Jeffrey
(UK)

I am disabled but I do my best to help the Earth when I can. When I shop I bring reusable mesh bags for vegetables instead of using plastic bags. I also have reusable shopping bags, and I live close enough to the store that I don't have to take a car. Instead, I walk with a cart and most days it is fun.

I also cook a lot of my own food and I don't buy processed foods, so there is hardly any trash. If I need convenience food I will make a lot of something and freeze it. I try to grow some vegetables and herbs in pots here, I can get a few that way and they taste better.

I am too poor to set up solar energy yet in my house but if I could, I would!!
