Green reflections of 2009

Gluten-free vegan Christmas dinner never tasted as good as this


Here's the spread!

The best raw apple pie for dessert

Unwrapping the flyer

What a year 2009 has been (and since I don't have a clock, it may well be 2010 as I type).

What we did in 2009:
  • grew our first family vegetable garden
  • ate from our vegetable garden
  • started composting in our backyard
  • continued to support local farmers at the Farmers' Market and avoid grocery stores if possible during the growing season
  • used the water from the dehumidifier to water plants
  • purchased a dehydrator
  • started making raw crackers and other raw treats
  • entered into a gluten-free and casein-free diet
  • attempted a low phenol diet, but let it go
  • entered into a rotation diet
  • got a shower water filtration system
  • wrote a few times in this blog
  • moved the office closer to home so that the car wouldn't have to be used every day

Goals for 2010:
  • find a way to install solar panels
  • insulate the house better
  • get smart devices to conserve energy
  • start green business(es)/initiatives
  • write better blog entries

A big thank you to those of you who read and accepted some of my suggestions in the gift-giving post. I really appreciate the flyers wrapping paper for the kids' gifts! ;)

All the best to you in 2010!
