As usual everything happens for a reason, and depending on your reasons, things will always happen to push you one way or another. I've been, weakly, on a quest to become a greener, more environment friendly person. I did away with plastic containers in 2008, now only having glass containers(most still have plastic lids, BPA free of course), shed away most of the plastic cooking utensils and replaced them with bamboo utensils, and try to recycle more than I throw in the garbage. I've always been into green building, ever since school. I also hate clutter, and am constantly considering ways to reorganize things in my home to provide a more streamlined look. Yes, I'm obsessed with everything being completely uniform, and sterile, it makes my boat float. Having lived in an old house that desperately needs updating for the last 18 months has just about driven me bonkers! So the remodeling continues I'm already preparing ourselves for some crazy reductions. Now that I have an iPad (my Mother's Day surprise), I'm even considering parting with my books. We've downsized our library so many times already and you can find pretty much all classics in some time of downloadable electronic format nowadays. So anyway, back to my inspiration. This woman is amazing to me just for her zeal regarding her carbon footprint. I'm so glad a friend posted this on Facebook, and now I'm ready to start reducing, reusing and recycling even more! I don't know if I could get to that point, but some of the things she's doing are so easy pretty convenient so there's no reason not to try!
So I want to thank Bea for being avant-garde, you have and are inspiring many households to do the same and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was so excited about the produce bags I had to google them and found them on Amazon. Target also carries some. For a few years, I've been putting my fruits and veggies loose in the cart because I didn't want to use a plastic bag. This totally solves my problem! Click on the pic and it'll take you to Amazon.
