When my wife, daughter and I moved to our new home in Manchester, MO we were excited to know that recycling is a big part of the community. Within the first six months we were given a very large bin with wheels to place all our unsorted recyclables in. So through-out part of 2008 and all of 2009, before placing an item in the trash we conditioned ourselves to first think if it could be recycled. It even turned into a game. If we didn’t know, we’d bet on whether it would make it into the recycle bin or not.

In 2010, we’re going to take living greener to the next level. Here is a short list of our strategy for living greener in 2010:

1. Start a small garden, just tomatoes and green beans for now.
2. Pay more bills online.
3. Start a compost pile.
4. Plan meals for each day of the week and only grocery shop for those items.
5. Go to the grocery store once a week.
6. Install recycling receptacle in home office.
7. Install compact florescent light-bulbs.
8. Turn off and unplug electronics that aren’t being used.
