Paper...Plastic...OR....?

When I'm at the grocery store, I see those plastic bags and wonder - is it really that bad to use them? And, of course, paper bags? We know that is eliminating trees. My grocery store doesn't even offer paper bags. My only choice is plastic....or plastic.

I wasn't convinced about the dangers of plastic until I saw this video. It really surprised me.

So, I got some cloth bags

These are reusable for 3-4 years! I am trying to remember to take them in with me each time I shop. And the green color of these bags reminds me that I am Going Green!

I'm A Water Waster - Are You?

The EPA says that even tho 2/3 of the earth is covered with water, only 1% is for human use.

That started me thinking of ways I could eliminate ways I waste water.

...Don't leave the faucet running while I'm brushing my teeth
...Don't run the dishwasher with a partial load of dishes
...Check and fix any water leaks
...Install water-saving devices on faucets and toilets
...Install a low-flow shower head

Do you have any other ways we can conserve water usage?
