My mission is morphing. I started out analyzing vanity around driving a luxury car. I moved onto reflections on myself, my habits and my surroundings. It seems now I am examining my thoughts and feelings about being GREEN. I didn't realize that by limiting my driving I would become more aware of my carbon footprint. Everything I do, from not driving to recycling, makes a difference for our environment. I am starting to make a little life game out of being more responsible. Here are a few things I now do to help our environment:
1. I use the other side of printed paper. No one sees the stuff I print anyways, so who cares what is on the other side. Even more - I don't print unless I ABSOLUTELY have to.
2. I run, walk, bike and bus where ever I can.
3. I bring my tumbler to Starbucks.
4. I drink water from the tap versus using bottled water.
5. I use reusable grocery bags (and use the plastic I do have as trash bags and doggy potty bags)
These are only a few examples that I feel are really starting me on the path to being more green. What are you doing?

I buy most of my daughter's clothes at consignment- great stuff for cheap! I'm reusing at the same time! I also unplug things after I'm done - like the coffee pot or the lamp and clock in the guest bedroom that rarely get used! Cloth napkins are a good idea too!
