Greetings everyone.

After a much needed break we are back and ready to roll out with some exciting new changes.

In the past the site has been mostly a collection of informative articles based on green and eco-friendly living, the focus has been on raw information.

After much consideration we have decided to take the site in a new direction *smiley face*.

We will be moving in a more personal direction and doing our best to not just provide information but to act as a real life example of what can be done to live a more eco-friendly life.

Because we are moving away from raw information to real life experiences and examples the updates will not be as frequent as they have been in the past (disregard the vacation we took.) I will be taking the primary role in updating the site though Laura will still be piping in from time to time.

One of our primary focuses will be how to live a level of self sustainability while still being limited to the confines of a 3 bedroom apartment that has no yard, as such we have started in on apartment based hydroponics to produce green leafy goodness for our plates while still trying to keep the expense and environmental impact low.

Later this week I will be posting an update and photo how-to on our first jump into hydroponics (a 12 pot bubbleponics system) as well as container gardening.

Please follow us on Twitter or Facebook so that you can be informed when we release a new update.

We are also considering doing video podcasts for some of the more interesting bits, please leave a comment and let us know if you would like (watch) videos we produced or if our time would be better spent some other way, we are open to all suggestions.

Thank you and have a wonderful day.

–Terry

That’s right, the household behind EcoExistent is taking the Fake Plastic Fish plastic trash challenge.

We’re also going to get a little more personal around here and share what works for us in living green while learning from others who are going green as well. Terry is currently working on a new site design from scratch and I’m working on a new logo design. We are hoping to take things from plain newsy to honest living and still newsy with a dash of more color.

Just to get some feedback, here is one of the logo’s that I’ve come up with. If you could comment or e-mail us what you think, that would be great :)

And on that note, the challenge begins tomorrow. I will be keeping track of our households plastic trash as we go through the challenge and share how we are going to cut back, recycle or upcycle more by reducing our plastic purchases at the same time.

The EE team has been down for a bit due to life hitting an exciting maximum through the first week of August.

We are back on track now and apologize for any EE goodness you may have missed in our absence.

We now return you to the regularly eco-friendly scheduled blog :)
