Twitter Analysis for Lent
I’ve never been very good at giving things up for Lent. I think I tried chocolate once. Cookies another year. And swearing. (That one was tough!). A few people I know give up wine, but since my birthday is always during Lent–no *&^? way!
This year, the Natural Resources Defense Council has provided a simple and easy list of 9 things to give up for Lent and this time, I think I have found something that makes sense AND I haven’t done yet. Give up paper towels. I’ve cut back and gone all recycled materials. But never totally eliminated. This seems highly doable!
At least until Easter.
Any of these strike your fancy? Anyone want to join me on the green Lent challenge?

I’m giving up my Tide and going with Step #4. I will make the switch from conventional detergents to natural detergents for laundry. Anyone with me?!

I have really tried to switch to all natural cleaning products and have succeeded….almost. I just can’t give up Dawn and Oxiclean Stain remover. Dawn because I just can’t find any dish soap to remove the grease effectively and Oxiclean because it gets anything out of anything. I try to use them selectively only in the worse cases but need a pep talk.. Anyone have a good substitute or can I keep using them and be “practically” green??
