Keep inquiring about recycling and other things in your community. As people want those options, more usually become available. I sure hope you try the rain barrels. You plants will love having water that hasn't been clorinated.

We just installed more guttering and were looking to purchase another rain barrel.<br /><br />Thank you so much for devising the Garden Bloggers' Sustainable Living project, not only because I am a winner, but because it evoked such wonderful posts. It really made us think about what we need to do to keep the Earth green! And most of all it was fun to write, and to read everyone's entries. Your own contribution is excellent. You have motivated me to look into the Monarch Way-Station project. Although you didn't qualify for a prize, you are a WINNER in my book!<br /><br />Congratulations to all the other winners! And thanks again, Jan.

I didn't try to cover up my lack of 'green-ness'...just tried to tell it like it is;-) I hope we can get a rain barrel too because I could make great use of one.

I'll pass along your info so the bottle can be sent to you;-) Congrat's--and thank you!<br />Ami, So glad you're enjoying the posts, and the best we can all do is to try. Learn about the issues, make small changes, etc...then some of them will eventually become a way of life. If you get a rain barrel you'll have to share a post about it;-)<br />Ginger, Thanks--but I feel inadequate compared to the rest of you guys who really are living green. I have learned a lot from you & your own tree-hugging has given me inspiration to hug some of my own;-) I want to have a rain barrel & I like the idea of linking 2 together. I'll get the gloves to you soon! Thanks for joining me in this project;-)<br />Nancy, I am so happy you joined in and gave me some support because it really added so much to this;-) Thank you & I'm glad you have enjoyed it.<br />Helen, I'm so glad you joined in and have enjoyed the posts.

Thank you;-)<br />Layanee, Yes, we all have choices and depending on our circumstances can at least try to minimize our own negative impact on the world. Glad you stopped by!<br />Tina, I so appreciate your participation & wish I could send a gift to everyone who took the time to write a post. Thank you, and I'm glad you've enjoyed reading other's posts;-) I will always remember your 'sparkles':-)<br />Rose, thank you so much for joining me in this!

This was a great project, Jan, and even without the prizes, I think all of us who participated enjoyed it and took the time to really think about what we could improve on ourselves to be more sustainable. Like you, I didn't think of myself as being that "green," but I think every small step that each of us takes will add up to a significant improvement. Thanks so much for hosting this--through you and all the bloggers who participated the message was spread to many, many people.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651081377378962304.post-56232391832831331002010-04-21T07:26:39.771-04:002010-04-21T07:26:39.771-04:00Congrats to all the winners.

But I've been checking in periodically, and I've been thrilled to see what a response you've had on the Sustainability Project! You have accomplished so much with this project, and thank you so much for your hard work and the inspiration you've given others to do more for Earth.<br /><br />I'm so excited about the water bottle, too -- it's perfect timing, because I was so close to buying one but waiting to find just the right one for me.
