Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Earth Day and thought I would share my little experiment with everyone. I've been secretly trying an experiment where I use 50% less! I am a waster and not proud of it. I wondered if I could get by using half the amount I normally use. I started out by trying to use half the amount of shampoo I usually use and you know what, it was fine. And it took half as much water and time to rinse it out. I tried the same thing with my body wash. I've also tried it with my laundry detergent. I thought it would be weird but you know what, my clothes are just as clean. Other things I have tried this on: cleaning supplies, paper towels, toothpaste, toilet paper, and lotion. It's been kind of fun challenging myself to use half. Best part of all... it saves MONEY! That's right! Just call me the mean green money saving machine! No, really, don't call me that.

Hey Brooke...I'm browsing through the blogs and thought I'd check out what you're family is up to. Hope you don't mind. I have to say I am inspired by your new goal of using half. I might just have to give it a try! When are you guys heading out? This is so sad to see everyone leave. But it's exciting at the same time! Good luck to you guys. Keep in touch!
You are so good! What a great idea...Now I"ll have to do it too since you've proven it's possible!
