What a year this has been eh? At the end of each year I like to reflect on what we achieved throughout the year and what we can improve on in the coming year. Lots happened in 2012 that makes me feel like we are making good progress on our green journey. We started upcycling instead of recycling, conducted another waste audit, examined our food for GMO content, cut back on our plastic usage, started making our own cleaners, incorporated green design principles into our pool project, expanded our garden and started look at our home from an overall health perspective.
