We have installed cf lightbulbs in all of our light fixtures. We are also using wood cook stove and water heater in the winter. These changes have cut our electric bill to 40% of what it was!

We never used it because our basement got wet too often. I did dry on the porch a few times. that was nice and no one could see. My home had a laundry line in the basement.

Our house already had an outdoor line when we moved in. I would let my toddler get his daily dose of sunshine while I was hanging. Then we moved, to an apartment and the only "line" drying I did was the cloth diapers. (Ahhh, the bleaching power of sunlight) Now that we've moved, again, I've line dried indoors during the winter, but haven't gotten around to installing an outdoor line. One way I save money and landfills is using less disposable items. We cloth diaper, use kitchen towels instead of paper towels, reuse my husband's no longer needed printouts from work for the kids' multitudinous artwork. We love yard and rummage sales and I enjoy refashioning clothing for a new life. We've started composting and are expanding on that. I’ve line dried in the past.

Also when the crayons become just bits and pieces broken up we melt them back down into new usable crayons. As far as cleaning goes we use homemade mixtures for almost everything in the house, using vinegar and baking soda to clean most everything. We also grow some vegtebles for canning and can our own apple juice and apple sauce, and our own jams and jellys. I also make most of our clothing as i find it a lot less cost then buying new ones, As far as most of the breads we eat, dinner rolls, white bread, biscuits, i make all from scratch as it is more cost efficiant to do so.

I didn't know there was such a thing! We cut costs by growing our own veggies, using coupons, and watching what our air conditioning is set at! I also am careful to shop our local grocery store ads, what we eat depends on what is on sale. We don’t dry our clothes outside, but I think using a portable laundry line would help.
