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.cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996904803832209598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929599350288212596.post-5617064450098095782010-04-22T20:26:00.566-05:002010-04-22T20:26:00.566-05:00I'm going to commit to no styrofoam.

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.<br />Thanks for the great giveaway!<br />KelleyKelley Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733442495348579493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929599350288212596.post-9428427080947818452010-04-22T17:24:17.069-05:002010-04-22T17:24:17.069-05:00I am going to try to be greener by trying out some...I am going to try to be greener by trying out some new upcycling projects :)deseraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806990761747395025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929599350288212596.post-69510676524777630022010-04-22T12:52:21.304-05:002010-04-22T12:52:21.304-05:00oh that ruler would be great!

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.
