The Green Space was started for a 10-year old girl, who is a lot smarter than most people. She is my daughter (which means this blog will be heavily moderated) and she absolutely loves to be a green person. What used to be a 30 minute shower for her has turned into a quick 10 minutes get in and get done process. She has also started recycling and has encouraged everyone in our house, as well as other, to do the same. This includes making sure that all cans are put into a can bag, not the trash can. She recycles as many plastic bottles as possible, and she encourages outdoor life.

We watch for bugs and animals and do everything under our power not to kill them unless absolutely necessary. Some of the upcoming projects we have on our list of things to do are:

  • Build a greenhouse for starting plants in the winter
  • Start a garden come spring
  • Start a compost pile
  • Start a worm composting system

Other things that I would like to do, but may not get to in the near future are to get rain collection cans set up and capture the water runoff from the greenhouse. We encourage others to join us in the movement. If you have a blog on going green, or just a blog in general, let us know by leaving a comment. We will research it and if we like it we will link it.
