Chock Full of Photographic Inspiration
Wayfaring Wanderer has posted another “Share the Love” give-away. While I don’t typically enter contests that often, she has had some topics that have piqued my interest, and Project Inspiration is another which challenged me to participate. Since I am just a beginner, I find photographic incentives everywhere. I love looking at the photos of others, whether they be on flickr, photostock wesbites, photography forums, newspapers & magazines and of course the many blogs I visit. She mentions how the weather has been draining her of creativity and since I have felt this same lack of excitement on my learning journey, here is my take on this subject.

I have not yet had to pleasure of meeting Wayfaring Wanderer but since we live in the same town, a photowalk is planned. I hope we will finally get to meet in the very near future, maybe for a photo-snow-walk or a hike at the Hebron Rock Colony. When I read about her “Share the Love” green giveaway, I had to participate for a chance to win one of her lovely prizes and perhaps the book “Living Green”, a lovely picture frame or a re-usable bag may also be in my future. I could think of plenty of eco-friendly things I do currently to brag about but it was alot harder to think of ways to improve upon the many eco-friendly actions I take on a daily basis.
5 things I do right now that are eco-friendly:
- Use re-usable containers for take-out food and re-usable bags for shopping; support restaurants which use recyclable take-out containers
- Make my own homemade household cleaners
- Compost throw-away kitchen waste
- Recycle glass, plastic, metal, batteries, CFL light-bulbs, pasteboard, cardboard, newspaper
- Make a majority of healthy, nutritious meals at home
5 things I don’t do but can easily start doing:
- I hang out clothes on a clothelines mainly during the summer but could do this more often in the fall and spring
- Be more consistent with recycling & composting; sometimes a few things that could easily be recycled or composted end up in my trash because of pure laziness
- Finish ridding kitchen of plastic food storage containers by finding inert alternatives
- Save more food for leftover meals and make a plan to use these so they do not go to waste
- Drive less; walk more
Nomination for prize: Blue Bird Hill
Good luck to all the entrants and much luck to everyone in achieving their eco-friendly aspirations.
