we have been talking a lot around here about going green/recycling/reusing/taking care of our planet & the boys are so aware of many things we can do to change some of our current habits...yes, we recycle but we could recycle more...we turn off lights when we leave the room...we brush our teeth with the water off (nathan learned this water saving tip last year)...we are planning on only buying 'new energy efficient' light bulbs from now on...and we are using our new plastic shopping bags for grocery shopping...i still am getting into the habit (as with any new change)...gotta remember to bring them TO the store...gotta remember to bring them INTO the store....gotta remember to hand them to the bagger at the BEGINNING of your check-out experience...but we are getting better and even used our new "bags" at target this week...it may not move mountains of landfills but we are aware & working toward going greener...i know its working when i hear colin tell the target cashier "no plastic bag for me, i'll just carry it."...heres to little changes....go green.
