My Window | Aron.M.Braggans

I’ve been looking at how to start, I’m not going to the extreme of “Nothing New” because I know my self, there are thing I will never buy used hands down. But there are lots of things that I will

I needed salt at work for food, I could have purchased a plastic or cardboard pre filled shaker. But once thats empty I’d be throwing something in a landfill (or hopeful the plastic could be recycled). So I made the choice to buy a glass or metal salt shaker, but rather then buying once from the local retail store, I made the choice to REUSE something and headed to my local Good Will store. I picked up small glass salt shaker

The Next project is to Reduce they Junk Snail Mail thats delivered to the house, I found a great guide on http://reduce.org/junkmail/index.html on how to do this.

I’m going to to a little project and see how many ounces of Junk Mail Becca & I Get for the rest of April and then the rest of the summer I’m going to see how many ounces of Junk mail we can get rid of

Becca & I have been watched a few documentaries about Plastic, Credit, Wal Mart, Eco Living, Life off the Grid.

My Goals this year is to work on using less Plastic, I know I have one of the worst hobbies when it comes to plastic. Remote Control hobbies have a large amount of plastic parts and they all come in plastic bags. To Combat this I’m going to try to buy less, which means I have to drive better =). I’m also choosing with my dollars, I’m spending more on metal metal parts.

Plastic and Food, I will also reduce my plastic bag dependence at stores. I have already ditched plastic shopping bags and produce bags. That was very easy to do. Now the hard part is buying product in glass and or paper containers. Again this is more about choosing with your dollars.

Plastic And Money, When I was laid off Internet Broadcasting I had 5 credit cards most of which I was paying them down at an feverish pace. When I let go, I was luck that my severance was all i need to finish off all the credit debt.

of the 5 credit cards I have 1 open for emergency Only. I’m now looking to get rid of that card in favor of the Bank Of Aron Credit Card. AKA Savings account.

Becca & I have been living on Cash Only for food and entertainment for the last 3 months and its been very easy.. like shocking how easy it can be.

I’ve been on a EatLocal Kick ever since I watched No Impact Man, Found a good food chart for local produce season, and a bunch of farmers markets. I plan to dive into gardening this year but I might be limited by my Town Home Rules on the size of the operation.

thats a good start
