a tiny choice
I've been thinking a lot about finances lately, and being environmentally conscious seems to be an issue that often goes hand in hand with living frugally. One of the green sites I've been reading recently is Tiny Choices. The idea of making changes little by little is much easier for me to get behind than the idea of changing how I do everything, so I've been mulling over how I do things and ways I could make tiny choices to change. The first tiny choice I'm consciously making is my decision to hang-dry all of my clothes except for my jeans. Right now this means I'm putting all my clothes on hangers to dry, but as the weather gets nicer, I'm thinking about talking to Mike about putting up a removable clothesline on our deck. Our HOA won't let us keep one up there all the time, which I understand - they can be kind of tacky sometimes, so I'm thinking about a set-up that would let me put the line up when I need to hang clothes on it and take it down when I'm done. Until then, however, laundry days at our house will see my clothes hanging in doorways to dry.
