Simple Living - Lesson's From Grandma's HousePosted by Butcher Stevenson on January 16th, 2021 Use a microfiber dish cloth to make quick work of cleaning up your kitchen, from wiping off stove, refrigerator, counters and sink. It is great for cleaning those hard to clean stainless steel appliances. Just wipe and walk away. Waffle weave dish towels are wonderful for drying all your dishes too. sustainability is the ability to sustain. It applies to a good habit, a discipline, an endurance feat, love. But how do you sustain the energy and the focus? The commitment and the passion? The belief and the trust? For power, the RV can use solar energy, propane, or electric rather than gas. Newer environmentally friendly fuels are being used, including recycled vegetable oil, hybrid fuel, biofuels, and soon nitrogen fuels. There are small foldable solar energy producing panels that bring free solar energy to the wilderness. They can power up to 110 watts, enough to run cell phones, radios, GPS, fish finders and lighting. As a portable fuel source, they can go anywhere, even in kayaks or boats. It would also help improve your green living status if you buy a single gadget with lots of features. Most cellphones these days, for instance, can serve not just as mobile phones but also as mini-computers, digital cameras, MP3 players, calculators, alarm clocks and handheld gaming consoles. Having less gadgets with more functions can also help you deal with clutter. These stories also make me think about how different things would be if these people had given up at 1, 2, or even 5 "no's". How would their lives be different? What would the world have missed out on? What impact would have been lost? I'm not telling you to go out and do an IronMan or work against your physical abilities, I do want to remind you of the power of the mind and perseverance and what's possible when we believe and act and WANT. I'm sure you've looked for better paying jobs and found none, or they were just not hiring. So that's a dead end. So what do you do? Well I can tell you ways to go green in your home saving you ,111.53 every year! So you can't seem to make more money, so let's spend less and do some saving by going green in your home today. On cold mornings, stop starting your car for a few minutes before you get into it. Additionally, don't idle your car if you are waiting for someone, if you are pulled over, or if you are waiting to pickup a child from school. Though the heat in your car may not be as hot, and you may have to ride in mild discomfort for a brief period of time, is saves you from wasting gas, and puts less exhaust into the air. Making the amount of fuel you waste and the amount of emissions you produce less are both great, free, and easy ways to decrease your carbon footprint. Additionally, they actually save you some money per month, which is a rewarding reason to do them. How does this apply to you personally? I'm not sure, obviously only you can k now what's true for you. And I do know that I personally am in the question everyday of "What reality am I creating for myself?" "How am I helping things go right? Or not?" My beliefs and mindset influence the actions I take which influence the results I get - at work, at home, and in life in general. Seeing this makes it easier, because I can create a "presence point" to check my mindset and see where it's at and where it may need to shift in order to create my intended impact.Like it? Share it!
