Wow, read all about it!  This is really great and innovative doing by a local business in Albuquerque, New Mexico to go 'green' in their business.

Albuquerque grocery goes solar!

Smith's grocery store chain is going green by installing solar panels on two of it's Albuquerque locations.

It comes as no surprise that Kroger's chose the Albuquerque area for this project, as we have 300+ days of pure sunshine -

If you Albuquerque home is located near one of these Smith's locations, take a stroll over and check out the new project.

Green living ideas for your Albuquerque home

Here's a great green living idea for your Albuquerque, New Mexico home - I'm always looking for great ways to live green, making life simple and healthy for the planet.  This article caught my eye today...

I've really enjoyed growing my own herbs this year, and peppers and tomatoes...instead of buying seasonal flowers that need to be dug up and transplanted every year, I've been growing herbs that I can use in my kitchen!  Some of them will grow back after the winter freeze, so there's less throwing away of the plastic pots and materials that come with buying new plantings every season.

I hope you enjoy this helpful hint for you green Albuquerque home!

Here is a resource to find recycling centers in the Albuquerque area -

Recycling Centers

Re-use your bags, recycle your glass (I save my glass jars to store leftovers....easily washed and fits better in the fridge anyway!)

Save your crumbs for the birds, leftover bread - even fruit - birds love fruit this time of year.

Easy Ways to Live Greener

Easy Ways to Live Greener


Here are some great ways (above link) to live greener in your Albuquerque home - simple and effective. Remember, it's not a big process to live greener. I have found that just carrying your own bags to the grocery can keep your garage cleaner while you live greener! The other day I was looking for some plastic bags to do some yard work; low and behold, no more plastic grocery bags!

I periodically go around the house and double check to make sure there are no unnecessary lights on; I'm thrilled when spring comes and I no longer am running cooling or heating; I use vinegar for all of my home cleaning...I hardly ever use paper towels, I use old bath towels cut up for my cleaning purposes and wash once a week.

Simple and effective ways to keep your Albuquerque home clean and green.
