Being green

So, what does it take before you become an environmental nut? It's true we don't buy everything organic, but we're doing it more and more. My latest thing is that I have seeds sprouting in a jar on my kitchen counter. My father-in-law now thinks I'm crazy. Of course, he thought that before. But, anyway, you can buy a special thing to grow seeds, but I opted for the jar method. Simple, and very low-cost. Today, 5 days into the experiment, I decided that they were sufficiently sprouted and that we needed therefore to eat them. So, at lunch, we had a salad with sprouted barley seeds. (Also known as barley spouts, I suppose.) It was pretty good, and Thomas said he liked it, too. It's organic, easy, cheap, and supposedly full of vitamins. Yay!
