purposes I am a female. The closest thing I have had a New Year's resolution was perhaps one in which I decided that 2007 would be the year of the hat and so far in my head has not dropped even one as useful artifacts. Last year I join the movement abuelización the world, learning to knit and I failed again. All I know is weaving a long churros that seem sausages and can be used to fashion a scarf or as a toy for a cat, which is how they usually end my churros.
With this as context, I started thinking about something that was a habit and take it as purpose so that I do not feel frustrated because they can not achieve anything.
My first thought was "learning to manage" and as I know how well ... Yei! I did it! I can fulfill my purpose! (I advise you to do something similar one day, the feeling of achievement is a feat).
The problem with this technique is that you end up very soon and we still have ten months ahead.
So my second idea was to think of something that was already doing and I had to make some effort to maintain. Added to this, I decided I had to be beneficial to anyone, not just for me. Where I went to my most recently acquired interest in the environment. No, not true. The environment does not interest me. Does it? I do not know.
few years ago a friend tried to convince the apocalypse via Al Gore and the veld. I replied that I was not worried. And it was true. I always thought that humanity, in all our radiant and perfect asshole, we are able, at some point down the hill, we realized that we must hold on to. I still believe we are now witnessing a growing global movement entrenched in environmental matters. I remain unconcerned
(forward, come the stones) but busy. I started to do or not do certain things that allow me to defend myself at least vegetarians who go round and also, if I could not educate me on this paradigm, at least to educate my nits.
A way to reinforce my commitment and purpose, give them some practice to know that we started at home and others not yet, but are close to reaching.
* swim to cacerolazos. I started doing this once I disconnected the boiler and I kept doing it with the boiler running. A five-minute shower can waste nearly 95 gallons of water. And the net who bathes in that time? I used to last much longer. Now I just filled my bucket of 10 liters and bathed in a heartbeat.
* Turn on the boiler when it will be used and completely shut later. I suggest buying a boiler or a solar step, because mine works as a pass and also has a small space to store hot water thermostat is screwed tread it both opening and closing, on or off. We will have to buy another later, but right now, which brings me to my next point.
* Stop buying so much chingadera than actually required. This is very well pinchi difficult, the truth, because there are so many beautiful things, bright, stupid and sensual in the windows to stop consuming so much it becomes very difficult. But then we took. The last time I went to El Paso just bought some pants Harry, to William sneakers, a pair of pajamas for me and a bottle of wine for Fefe. He does not need anything else.
* Buy locally. I try and I try, but for certain products are not me.)
* Quitting once and plastic bags. If you are handy with sewing like me ... no, you can convert some old shirts in bags to the supermarket and traerls always in the car.
* Stop buying bottled water. What if there? Water is free! And the use of PET has a strong environmental impact in its manufacturing process. And besides, we do not need plastic containers! With a good boat can shockproof carrying water where we want. And also applies to our daily coffee.
* Change the detergent. Businesses already exist in many detergents made from borax, vinegar, baking soda and other ingredients. You can also use grated soap Zote, great, that not detergent, it lacks some elements very harmful to the environment.
* Use only cold water in the washer. What does your targets are not so white? Better yet, buy colorful clothes.
* Discontinue the use of paper napkins. You can buy kitchen towels or bathroom used to scrub your body. I got in store for ten pesos. Better still if you know sewing, making some little old kitchen towel, and reusing be linking.
* Limit use of the dryer. If you have the space for a clothesline, you have to use it. With an extension we made to the house, I had no yard, but still I have a hall that holds three strings very well, for the happiness of Lulu, who loves the smell of clean clothes. Have you had told them that I love clothes line?
* Caring for the toilet water. If you're too lazy to put the roll that a bottle of water in the tank and have a penchant for destroying things, I have a solution for you: Open the tank and bend the wire of the float, just a little so that the float is a lower level and not allow the tank is very full.
* Change one toilet paper from recycled paper. No scratches, net. It is well soft.
* Caring for the gasoline car. This can be done in many ways: buying compact cars, but SUVs and pickups are so attractive, "if you can not change your car, bring it afinadito and their tires to recommended pressure. Another thing better is to change the car for public transport or bicycle. I have not mastered it yet. It is just easy here with poorly designed transportation routes. Or maybe not so and it is my excuse for not using it. Another thing that can be done in this regard is not to heat the car more than 30 seconds. Requires no more and off while you hope your friend gets drunk to enter your home. .
* Use Dome to capture sunlight, use energy saving light bulbs, insulate the house after that I'm now-...
* Unplug electrical appliances after use or purchase one of those jacks that automatically turn off when it detects that the connected device is not being used.
* Print only what is necessary. And that includes the jokes you get sent to your email, I must talk seriously with my dad about it. Use recycled paper and reuse.
* Reduce meat consumption. A vegetarian day a week is a good idea.
* Recycle, reuse, reduce. In recycling is where I work harder, despite the great practice that I have in my recycling ideas.
Best of all, no need to be a doomsday convinced to start doing some things. It is, moreover, an economic issue. In the last two months we reduced by 60 percent wonderful, maomeno, consumer spending power with some of the practices I wrote.
There is much that I need to do, like changing the cleaning products or stop using shampoo and perfumes (NEVER!) but there are things that can suit the style of living of each person.
And since there are engraved in stone my commitments. In the leaf of a maguey would like more ad hoc but would not be right. No, sir.
And now ... A share. What ideas do you suggest?
