Getting Started On Eating Green

For some of us who live for reasonable comfort, it can be quite difficult to go green in the food department. But if you pay attention to what you are currently eating, especially on a daily basis, you just may be eating green and not even know it. And if you look at some of these green foods/recipes out there, they can be very expensive and some of the ingredients are almost impossible to locate. So, to help you get started on thinking about your daily diet and picking out some of the green foods you frequent, I have listed some of mine here:
 Organic juices (any kind)
 Raw nuts
 Raw cocoa (I include this in my daily Body meal replacement)
 Raw veggies
 Water
 Raw salads
 Salt and pepper (keep it simple when cooking…stay away from seasoned salts)
 Herbs (fresh basil and cilantro are my favorites!)
 Olive oil
 Raw fruits (any kind)
 Raw nut/seed butters (almond butter is my favorite!)
I hope this gives you an idea of what could be right under your tongue during your next meal or snack. Good luck!

Ever Thought About These Green Ideas?

1) I know we live in a fast ‘right now’ world, especially when it comes to food. But cooking with a slow cooker, solar, or toaster oven reduces electrical use from kitchen appliances. It is worth the wait considering that our planet will still be in tack for our grandchildren if we put in the work now. 2) This is my favorite tip: switching from a desktop computer to a laptop. I just purchased a new notebook and I am cutting three-quarters off my electrical use. I also make sure to turn it off at the end of the day. 3) I switched over to cold water washing a few years ago mainly to avoid shrinking my clothes and have been saving 80 percent on energy used for laundry. This estimates to an estimated savings of $60 a year. I also hang dry most of my clothes instead of using the dryer and save 700 pounds of C02 a year! 4) I know it is the rainy and cold season, but did you know that each degree you turn down the heat saves 3 percent of heating costs, while in the summer, each degree you raise the temperature of your air conditioner saves 3-4 percent of cooling costs? By changing the temperature by 2 degrees all year, you can save about 2,000 pounds of C02 a year. And for those of you who are whining about cutting down the heat, try clothes!!!LOL!
