Green - not

I am not doing well in my campaign to reduce the amount of plastics I bring into our home.  Only one trip out of three to the grocery store am I in my car where the reusable shopping bags are and I always neglect to bring them into other types of shopping establishments.

I do reuse the bags as our garbage bags, but then I feel bad because I am still putting them in the landfill where they just accumulate with all the other plastic.  In addition they do not let the garbage within them decompose quickly.

We have started composting our vegetable peelings.  Remember never to compost meat or chicken trimmings, bone, etc.  That will entice animals.

We have been good at recycling for over 16 years.  Years ago it took effort trying to find the recycling facilities, but now it is so easy for us.  There are two different places we can drop our stuff, both of which we pass when we leave home.
