Going Green in Bangkok: February 2009
http://greeninbangkok.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Going Green in Bangkok. It ain't easy bein' green in the land of plastics. Thursday, February 05, 2009. Well I don't hate all of it as some things just aren't available in something other than plastic. And some plastic things work well if they are good quality. Yes there are dangers to plastics as they off-gas into our air and foods. If they melt, watch out! But living here is INSANE! It is the land of cheap cheap plastics. Yes I know I could even avoid buying the PLASTIC pens to begin with.

Going Green in Bangkok. It ain't easy bein' green in the land of plastics. Friday, August 22, 2008. Vinegar and Baking Soda. Both are good for the environment compared to the heavy chemicals in regular cleaners. Both are also great for the wallet! I have 2 main solutions I've made. 1 part vinegar to 10 part water in a spray bottle which works for windex and shining. 1 part vinegar to 4 part water is a general bathroom/kitchen cleaner. As for the request about laminate floors, I have read that as long as ...

Going Green in Bangkok. It ain't easy bein' green in the land of plastics. Monday, March 03, 2008. Scriptures supporting green living.

Going Green in Bangkok: January 2013

Going Green in Bangkok. It ain't easy bein' green in the land of plastics. Tuesday, January 01, 2013. It has been a super long time since updating this blog but I really really want to let my (few) readers know that our home is almost chemical free now. When the handsoap and dishsoap run out, that's it. I'm making some. Parabens in kid's toothpaste? Not in the adult generic toothpaste. It must be to maintain that lovely orangey color and taste. So FYI, check your toothpaste for SLEs, SLSs, and Parabens!

Going Green in Bangkok: September 2007

Going Green in Bangkok. It ain't easy bein' green in the land of plastics. Monday, September 17, 2007. Check out this house. This woman lives in an 84 sq. ft. home. OK, so this may be a little extreme, but then again, maybe not. Why do we need big homes? When I moved to Asia, I thought that a 1500 sq ft home was average. Now I see it as huge! Homes here can be large, but the average Thai family may share that 1500 sq ft or so with 10 or more people! Or, like my neighbors, 400 sq ft for a family of 6.

Going Green in Bangkok. It ain't easy bein' green in the land of plastics. Friday, April 18, 2008. I use cloth toilet paper. This is the post my husband has been dreading. He is so embarrassed that cloth toilet paper exists in my house, let alone that I use it! I know somewhere I could find how much of a tree is wasted by one roll of toilet paper, but I'll spare you the details. It's not just the tree, but the resources to produce it and ship it to the store. I usually wash them with the cloth diapers...

Going Green in Bangkok. It ain't easy bein' green in the land of plastics. Saturday, August 25, 2007. Why am I green? When I was little, I watched my dad hook up a solar panel on our roof. Instead of needing electricity to heat the water for our showers, the sun did it. And did it well. I literally burnt my butt more than once from superhot water in the shower!
