Goin' Green!


I used my clothe bags at the grocery store today.  Finally!
There are three in my car and I continually forget to bring them into the store with me.  Frustrating, especially since I really do want to "do my part" in reducing the use of plastic bags.  And, well, I bought them, for crying out loud!  So the fact that they sit in my trunk, untouched seems like such a waste.  I love using them, when I remember, they carry a ton of groceries, and it makes me feel good.

Baby steps.  That's what this is.  One good deed at a time.  One day at a time.  And if, when, everyone steps up and does their part, we all win.  

Now, what else can I do?  I'll have to ask Emma.  At seven years old, she's pretty savvy on how to save the world.  Pretty cool if you ask me.  And that we can do this (whatever project it may be) together, is even better.  I'll get back to you on what she comes up with.....

I now know what I am sending you for Christmas. I'm not breaking our "spend no money" pact (even though you broke it and bought our kids something) - I am sending you something I already own, that you will enjoy.

It's Freecycling.

Lovies :)

I didn't break anything! I told you I already had it!
But I do look forward to whatever you already have. Maybe bras and jeans you don't wear anymore?
