Default Re: How Frugal saves the Environment

When I had my babies 8 yaers ago I thought I was the only one in the world still using cloth diapers!! I line dried them because the UV actually killed the bacteria from the ammonia that contributes to diaper rash.

It seems to be using a drier is sort of an environmental crime when it is hot and dry outside already.

Lux, I wish I could think of more water saving ideas. Our company bases it's wastewater bill on the water you use in the summer. So if you conserve as much as you can in the summer, you actually end up with a lower tap water bill as well as a sewage bill.

How about your landscaping? Make sure you are using very low water using plants. Grass is one of the worst. So are many typical flowering things. Learn what is nice looking and low maintenance for your yard.
