We had snow and ice again yesterday, but the sun is shining brightly today. The other snow had just melted and now we have 7 inches on the ground again. It sure is pretty but I much prefer green grass and leaves! The seeds that I started last week are all up and growing, soContinue reading “SAVING FOOD!”

HURRY UP, SPRING!
It is early February in mid-Missouri as I write this. One and a half weeks ago this area received a dash of freezing rain and then 13 inches of snow. That’s a lot for Missouri. We still have drifts remaining but much of it has melted. The weather is going to drop to near zeroContinue reading “HURRY UP, SPRING!”
FOOD (continued)
“Growing a garden is like printing your own money” except it is legal! I am SO excited!! My order of garden seeds just arrived! I know I can’t plant anything in the garden yet, but it will soon be time to start those seeds in containers on a table in front of my picture windowContinue reading “FOOD (continued)”
FOOD
LOOKING AT FOOD THROUGH AN ECOFRUGAL EYE This is probably the most difficult section for me to write because there is so much to write about. Where to start to write with any continuity? I’ll just take a leap and go! The first thing I want to be sure to say is for you toContinue reading “FOOD”

Our country is built around having a vehicle for transportation. Vehicle traffic releases an enormous amount of carbon into the air.Continue reading “TRANSPORTATION”
ACTIONS
As I look to change my actions to help the Earth, I am immediately conscious of these categories: unchecked consumerism, food, transportation, and fashion. I may discover other areas as I work through these ideas, but these are the four I know I will cover on days of the future. Let’s begin with unchecked consumerism.Continue reading “ACTIONS”
None of the things I do toward saving Earth is enough to make a difference in the future of the planet, but if enough of us work together to save the plant, together we will make a difference. In addition, working on goals to help Earth keeps me from feeling so pessimistic and feels goodContinue reading
ECO FRUGAL GRANDMA
Being environmentally friendly is currently becoming a fad with young people. I really admire Greta Thunberg and all she is accomplishing. It is also a fad to blame my generation and ones before mine for the shape the earth and climate are in — and rightly so. However, this Grandma (78 years old) is determinedContinue reading “ECO FRUGAL GRANDMA”
