Green Chores

24 01 2008

So, I came home today to my family’s washing machine being broken. I really needed a few things washed, but my mom had already made her trip to a friend’s house to wash. I remembered seeing a cool story on Night Line who lived green for a year. This included washing his clothes WITHOUT a washing machine. He had a cool idea of bathtub-washing, and it looked effective, so I thought I’d try it. A quick Google search and a few wet clothing pieces later, I now find my hands with a neat smell of Joyful Expressions! and my few peices of clothing drying in the tub. It was a cool, simple idea to a not-so-big problem. I feel like I’ve gained a new life skill that may come in handy later in my college days.

I have to admit that I will be glad when my dad does get around to taking the washing machine to be fixed!
