Martini Musing - Frugal Green Living
Being “green” doesn’t mean you have to buy new “organic free-trade” towels at $40.00 a pop (or recycled glass wine goblets for $60 each. Yikes!) You can do it the old-fashioned way. Use it up. Wear it out. Make it do. (Or just don’t do it.)
Tree Hugger recently published Frugal Green Living with Duh! V-8 moment tips.
Here’s one I really like, from the “Travel Local” section of the post:
Explore new cultures in your hometown: Many of us live in multicultural cities or towns, so we don’t even have to leave our comfort zone to experience a new culture. Try sampling a new cuisine you’ve never tried, or visiting immigrant-owned stores. Once you start chatting with the owners, you’ll be surprised at how much you can learn. ::More in Planet Green
P.S. There is always one more bit of toothpaste in the tube. Cut it open. (I’ve been doing this for years - you can get another week out of a tube. I wasn’t being green…just cheap..;-)

Thanks so much for noticing our new series! Glad you like it and hope your readers do too.
You’re right on that being environmentally-conscious, eco-friendly, “green” or whatever folks want to call it does not take lots of money. With the economy down, we think our Frugal Green Living tips will be a big help to people, so I hope you’ll keep checking us out!
Thanks again,
Chris
