Vera, I think anything extra we can do to help the environment is great, so of course you're welcome. We're still just 80- 90% organic here.

Unfortunately, I'm not crunchy at all according to this poll.
Cloth diaper? Nope (I hate laundry)
wee rags(as opposed to toilet paper): Nope, no way.
cloth menstrual pads? Nope.
compost? Nope.
organic food? Sometimes. Mostly pre-cut salad mix, fresh & dried fruit.
natural fabric clothing? Mostly (I'm all about cotton, though I usually don't buy "organic" cotton)
vaccinations? Yes.
reusable bags not plastic disposable? Reuse plastic grocery bags for other purposes, but do throw some of them away when the stack gets overwhelming.
eco car? Well...I used to have an awesome low-emission Honda, but turned it in at the end of my lease. Now our only vehicle is DH's Ford Explorer. I guess our contribution is only having 1 car.
Natural medicine? Sometimes.
Natural cleaners? Would like to.

btw we've only used panadol with dc 3 times, once when she was badly burnt, once when she put her tooth through her tongue(ouch) and once for teething. i think the stuff is definately over used.
