My Wish List

I want to
1. get active more, preferrably outside.
2. plant a late summer garden.
3. start a compost pile.
4. install a rainwater barrel. (engineered out of used materials)
5. reduce the amount of plastic in my household.
6. reduce our meat comsumption by half.
7. change the water heater to a tankless or geothermal model.
8. insulate attic with denim insulation.
9. install low flow water fixtures.
10.plant some trees on the property. (magnolia and dogwood)

We are in the process of buying a house and I have big plans to make it more energy efficient and to make our family more sustainable. We will join a CSA in Cumming, GA for the Fall season. We figure it will actually save us money on produce while ensuring no chemicals and major fuel expenditures to get it the product to us. I am looking forward to being forced to expand our diets and cooking because we will get veggies I may not normally buy.
