I find them to be the best for getting the smells out. Have you ever tried soap nuts for cleaning cloth diapers? I find them to be the best for getting the smells out.

I agree wholeheartedly: going green can save money. I have spent under $300 in two years cloth diapering my daughter, and that includes washing and drying expenses! And Yarrow, I agree with Sommer: using the dishwasher saves much more water and energy than washing dishes by hand. Too bad I don't have a dishwasher. . . .

My kids love looking for crazy fun clothes there. Of course there are still some things we buy new, but usually on sale. We also have a compost bin and recycle everything else we can. We have been able to cut our garbage pick up to every other week, saving about $20 every two months.

I disagree about not using the diswasher. It's more eco friendly to use the dishwasher than to not use it. Depending on your load size though. Excellent post again! sommers last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AShadeOfGreen/~3/287099312/great-green-weekend.html" rel="nofollow">A GREAT Green Weekend!</a> I’ve cut out buying stuff I don’t need, shopping online to save money and resale shopping, concentrated products, organic in bulk and driving less.

I have been trying to be more 'green' of late and it has saved us a bunch of green. For instance, I stopped using the disshwasher, and wash my dishes by hand, we are certain to turn things off whenwe leave a room, and we lowered our thermostat, our electric bill went from an unprecedented $400 to $138 in one months time! Its amazing the amount of things that are wasted. We also grow food, thrift/second hand shop, and never eat out. Thanks for the post. yarrows last blog post..<a href="http://yarrowofwitchwood.blogspot.com/2008/05/happy-anniversary.html" rel="nofollow">Happy Anniversary</a> Loved this post!

Great thoughts/reminders, though! Hehe – you may want to check the spelling of one of the words in this sentence ;)
