Well it has been awhile. Things at school settled down, but this time of year is hectic. Kids are trying to pass, seniors trying to graduate, I am trying to maintain my sanity.
I was trying to think of something interesting to blog about and nothing really came to mind. I visited the dentist yesterday...boring. I need to shop for summer clothes because I lost (don't ask how) all of my summer clothes...boring. I have a paper to write today...boring. So I decided to think back over the past couple of weeks to see what motivates me.
For a long time I have been debating my use of plastic anything at home. There has been more recent media attention for plastic, specifically #7. I found this article from 2005 published on the National Geographic Green Guide website about plastics.
I am tossing all #7 drink bottles from our home and we ordered Sigg bottles.
I am looking for old school glass storage containers to rid my world of plastic storage containers.
As I am aging I am turning more green. I like this, but I struggle with it too. The other day I saw a person (in a handicapped parking stall mind you) toss garbage out into the parking lot at Lowes. It was all I could do to contain myself. In my mind I walked over, picked up the garbage and tossed it back in their open window. I wish I had done that.
Do I sound fanatical?

Denise Next time go and point out the garbage can!! That is what I have done many times at Christopher at wrestling matches. #1 BIG SIGN ON GYM DOOR!! NO FOOD OR BEVERAGES. What is the first thing that they do! BRING BOTH! If the parents can't listen -- why should the kids! Anyway, we are leaving and all the parents leaving there coffee cups, sandwich wrappers, etc. I do pick them up and look them in the eye and say "Well, I guess I need to throw this away for you" You dump bucket! They always apologize and I throw it away! Can't stand LAZY People who can get off there behind to get out of the car and throw away their garbage or people who just leave things for others to pick up! BIG PET PEEVE!!
Jenn loves you GREEN IDEAS!! She is trying to get her Silver Award for helping the environment.
