I’ve got my trusty reusable grocery bag now, and I keep it in my purse. Now, I just have to remember to use it every time. I brought it out today when buying office supplies and the clerk looked confused, but I’m still glad I didn’t come back to the office with a plastic bag and have to decide between throwing it away and stuffing it in a drawer to possibly use later.
It’s time to look for a new job anyway, and I’m determined that my next job will be in Annapolis. I’ll save money and gas on my new, shorter commute!
I LOVE to knit, and I’m enjoying knitting gifts for my friends and family this holiday season. The next thing I want to do to be more green is switch to natural materials for knitting. I recently found a line of cotton yarn available at any old craft store. The line is called “Sugar ‘n Cream,” and so far, I like it a lot. There’s a locally owned yarn store near me where I want to go look for more varieties of cotton, wool, and other natural fibers. Hooray for renewable resources!
I’m not sure if this is a stretch, but I think I can be more green by eating more fresh fruits and veggies instead of packaged and processed food because fresh foods create less trash, and what little they do create (like an apple core) is biodegradable.
Today, I will be a little bit more green by buying a reusable cup that I can keep at the office and use that for getting drinks from the water cooler instead of using the disposable plastic cups. It’s a little step, but it counts.
I want to be more green, and I need to find practical ways to do it. I could drive less, but the bulk of my driving is my daily commute to work, and I’m not sure it’s a good idea for me to change jobs right now. I will probably start looking for something, but in the mean time, I need to find other options, too. I’m open to suggestions, so hook a girl up!
