Small green thing

We got us a blow up pool this weekend. It says to empty it daily due to health reasons and mosquitoes. We have decided to do it every few days, depending on how dirty it gets. We are going to get a tarp to cover it with since we have all those trees dropping cones and needles. That will hopefully allow us to empty it even less often. But, my little green idea when I emptied it today was to scoop the water out and use it to water all my plants! Now I don't feel so guilty about the pool.

Great use of your greywater! A green term I just learned. :)

Good idea! I'll have Emma use her little watering can and water things too. She loves doing that.

Our little pool thing that Victoria has, we use to water the grass at the same time.

Thats a pretty good idea :-) Those plants would surely appreciate it.

What about the plastic the pool is made our of? Is it safe?

If you're reading for the first time, it may feel a bit like you've just walked into a conversation that has been going on for awhile.

So to catch you up...

Jennifer started this blog because she was going through the process of becoming more conscious of her lifestyle choices and had decided to "go green". As she talked to her friends she quickly realized that she was not the only one interested in making changes. The blog was born. We used this as a place to discuss things we've tried and to support each other in the journey.
