I am a freelance writer living in Santa Fe, NM. I have one low-flow toilet in my house, but I should have two. I am going to purchase a front-loading washing machine before the end of the year and give my old top-loading one to my neighbors who have to drive their car to the laundromat every week. My husband and I harvest water from our roof for our fruit trees, compost, dump our graywater on our native grasses, and take our own cloth bags to the grocery store, among other things. My son, who is 20 months old, can say the word ‘compost’ and loves the trip to the backyard. I want him to grow up with carbon consciousness.
