And just a bit of a side note- thank you everyone who emailed me wondering if I was OK (I could not believe that I received SEVERAL emails) due to my LACK of posting. I am still in shock that people noticed! Indeed that last 2 weeks have been a bit crazy for me at work. (the Corporate America job work- not BB). We have our annual Sarbanes Oxley Audit with Ernst & Young and my position is very responsible for ensuring we pass that audit with flying colors. (and of CORSE we will!).
My prep work for the audit is done and I have completed my first round of E&Y interviews. So, I will be on my normal blogging schedule for now on! Thank you EVERYONE for checking!

I will try my very best not buy bottled water! It is so convenient, and so bad!! I like tap water just fine, so - resusable bottles and tap water for me : )
ReplyDeleteWe are switching lightbulbs around our house. Each one makes a difference! I also want to be much better at taking my own bags to the grocery store. I've got some and I just need to be better about bringing them along.
ReplyDeleteI am committed to saving my recycleables that don't qualify for curbside pickup, and taking them to the recycling center!
ReplyDeleteI think its unfortunate that more cities don't do single stream recycling, but just because its not easy, doesn't mean its not worth it!
Awesome- I sell market bags at Burgundy Buttons- and I USE THEM!! I always get lots of nice comments about them as well. Many grocery stores actually give you credit on your purchase by bringing your own bags! I gave up bottled water as well- and learned that "yes- tap water is just fine!", I do need to take my items to the recycle place- that's something I am very bad at since my local trash service doesn't do it. I commit!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to really try to bring my own cup to work and not use the dreaded styrofoam!!
ReplyDeleteone thing I am going to do is use what I have. Make shopping bags to take with me to the store, with the plastic bags that I have now, cut them up crochet them and use them to go shopping with. Just reuse and recycle
ReplyDeleteI want that ruler! I have been looking for it!!:D
Totally Guilty of the styrofoam work cup! I commit!
ReplyDeleteoh that ruler would be great!
ReplyDeleteWE're planting a garden. Mmmm... fresh tomatoes. :)
I am going to try to be greener by trying out some new upcycling projects :)
ReplyDeleteI have decided to be deligent about using reusable shopping bags. Not only do I have a great selection for myself......whenever I need to wrap a present I use a reusable shopping bag as the gift bag. Just put a bow on it and people love them. I have also changed every lightbulb in my house to a bulb that is more energy efficient. I haven't had to change any of the bulbs in a year so I have no complaints.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!

I'm going to commit to no styrofoam. I'm most guilty of buying a quick dinner of chicken wings that come in styrofoam. I'll have to take a container for them next time. Wonder how that will go over. Well gotta start somewhere right.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty green (recycling and composting), but there's always something that I can do that's new. Now that I think about it, I have been remiss in tossing out the plastic fork that I use to eat the salad that I take for lunch in my plastic washable container. I'll keep using a plastic fork, but I'll wash it and use it again.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to use a reusable bottle to drink my water out of. No more disposable bottles for me!
ReplyDeleteI do so many earth friendly things already: cloth market bags, reuse/recycle plastic bags, recycle plastic/cans/cardboard/glass--this list goes on. BUT I am so guilty of ordering food-to-go from places that use styrofoam! Commitment: cook more meals at home and/or only buy from places that use paper wraps.
ReplyDeleteI have started to use glass food storage containers instead of plastic wrap and ziplock bags.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win the ruler-I have been wanting to make a hexagon quilt!
