The Frugal Girl
FEBRUARY 18, 2024
I’m 47, married, and living amongst the cornfields in a college town in the Midwest U.S. As our family and household income grew, my husband and I made it a goal to put more money aside for emergencies, retirement, college, home improvements, etc. I live in a fairly transient town with lots of college students.

It was back in 1989 and I was a college sophomore. There weren't a lot of people walking around, mostly hippies and college students. From composting and saving rain water to using cloth napkins and reusable grocery bags, I have made many changes in my life over the last 20 years. I remember my first Earth Day celebration.

My first experience with Earth Day was back in the late 80′s when my college Biology class took a trip to downtown Pittsburgh for the city’s Earth Day celebration. I started a backyard compost many years ago before we had kids. Now the compost is also a science lesson for my kids. Happy Earth Day 2014!

Compost Yard And Garden Waste. Instead, use composted yard and garden waste. You can purchase commercial composting bins or build a pen with fence posts and chicken wire. If you have too much brown the decomposition will be slow and if there is too much green your compost bin will get a bit odiferous.

Can’t believe I live here – a lake near my house Because I’ve lived so many different places, I’ve seen first-hand how good use of available resources can really improve overall community experiences, such as community gardens that utilize city-wide composting programs, to libraries, cycling infrastructure.
