Recycling still uses energy and that plastic still brings chemicals into our lives. I've given up bottled water (bought a PUR filter and aluminum bottle), I make my own household cleaners (they work better than the store stuff too!), use canvas bags for shopping, and have switched the baby to gDiapers, to name a few.SplendidlyImperfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03798649697960237749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120507520321351528.post-36116561722343462702009-04-21T17:46:00.000-04:002009-04-21T17:46:00.000-04:00I've always recycled cans, glass, and plastic.

I keep a stackin my trunk and then grab when I'm walking into the grocery store. Its easy and i feel like I'm making a small difference!Princess Freckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01194515698171493928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120507520321351528.post-78106252637105355332009-04-21T14:53:00.000-04:002009-04-21T14:53:00.000-04:00I couldn't agree more!

People don't realize all mattress have chemical in them due to government regulations (yes even the green ones). <br /><br />I have started telling clerks I don't need a bag when I run to the store. I usually forget my reusable shopping bags but I generally can either carry the item or fit it in my purse.katie lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06901592998698545998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120507520321351528.post-7351952520250936492009-04-21T14:44:00.000-04:002009-04-21T14:44:00.000-04:00Im trying to recycle Jimmy Buffett tickets right n...Im trying to recycle Jimmy Buffett tickets right now! I have two tickets that despite my listing them FOR FREE on my FB page, have no takers!<br /><br />No tricks. I dont want money or a thing. Im unable to attend due to work constraints (training a new person) and everyone else I know whod be interested already has tickets. Are you interested or would you like to host a giveaway? (my blog is currently on hiatus, not that I had enough readers to do a giveaway in any case!) All I ask is that someone come to my office on Glenwood South to pick up today or tomorrow :)<br /><br />Email me at tandrusic(at)gmail(dot)com if interested! I just want someone to enjoy...TLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230812851047737212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120507520321351528.post-39290871288150799452009-04-21T14:31:00.000-04:002009-04-21T14:31:00.000-04:00I am glad to know I am not the only one that buys ...I am glad to know I am not the only one that buys things from a hotel liquidator.

And wow, I've never seen a recycling organizer, that would make it so much easier!<br />I did start using my reusuable shopping bags this year, but I still have a lot of plastic bags floating around. Maybe for Earth Day this year I can find a way to remember my bags when I go shopping.
