Welcome! My goal is to aid people in creating sustainable lives, both economically and ecologically. People will make changes for varying reasons; some to save money, others to preserve our Earth. When these two reasons can come together and attain the same goal, this makes for sustainable living on a broad scale and benefits us all.

Cloth Napkins: Not just for those fancy dinner parties!

Lately I've been trying to think of *more* ways to reduce my waste and save money. Inspired by The Zero Waste Home I've decided to begin using cloth napkins. I found some freebies in the laundry room giveaway counter (Seriously, I think it's a genie. If I wait long enough, everything I have been looking for shows up down there.), but I am also planning on sewing a few more over spring break with inexpensive fabric I purchased on Amazon. It comes in all colors!

If any of you own a sewing machine and want to start saving money and the planet, here is a simple instructive page. If you are not a DIY type, I am sure you can find some cheap ones at thrift stores near you! Remember, thrifting is also sustainable!
