I’m onboard with being more green.
It’s really about making it a habit.
I know I could do so much more and so I am always trying to be aware. We take too much for granted and we can’t do that anymore.

I say *YES* to getting rid of plastic bags forever. It’s a hot topic here and one that is in serious discussion. I find it much more common and habit here to use our own totes because they make them available, although there still is a big use of the plastic and I avoid it as much as possible. If they weren’t available I would be fine.

All of those suggestions you listed are good ones and ones we can all practice if we just take the time to enforce it as habit.

What purdy bags! I should get one for at least small things. I’ve really regressed on my “greenness” since moving to TX.

Happy belated earth day to you too! I meant to write an ‘earthy’ post, but couldn’t find the time that day. You wrote a perfect one though!

I consider myself moderately green, however I am always striving to become more so. I use cloth bags about 25% of the time (when I remember) and always recycle my plastics. I adore cloth bags - they are just so perfect for such a wide variety of things!

We live in town so I try to walk anywhere that I can. It is sometimes a challenge with the kids and preganancy, but I still keep striving to do so. I’d say more than 50% of my trips to the store are now via my feet on the sidewalks, not the gas pedal.

There are just so many simple things you can change that don’t take a ton of effort and being green is actually quite good for your health, ironic as it is (be nice to the earth = be nice to yourself).

Nice post! This is such an important thing in our world today. I haven’t switched off the plastic bags yet, but I do recycle as much as I can. I also just started buying “green” cleaning products.

I made my own bag from a pillowcase from goodwill. I keep it in my purse because I have a ton of totes, but never seem to get them to the store with me. My town is really late to catching on to this concept as the checkers and baggers give me exasperated looks. Especially when I ask for my .03 discount.

Happy Earth Day.
