The morning after I wrote about my quest to save the world, I did this...
Yeah. Morning and thinking do not go hand in hand.
But I have made headway!
- I put grocery bags in my car and have actually used them. It's now the little ladies job to bring them in to the store and they freaking love "important jobs" and their little brains remember these things better than I do. Although I may be teaching them the wrong meaning of "important".
- We bought a compost bin!
- And a little compost bucket for the kitchen! I've never been so excited to make garbage!
That's it, really. But 3 things! That's something!
Some setbacks? Tea.
Yeah, that's right. Tea.
I'm a big fan of fresh beverages, just like the next person, but why does tea have so much packaging?
Food, in general, is also troublesome. Milk bottles are recycleable, but my beloved Greek yogurt's carton is not blue-bin friendly. Also, ice cream buckets - not green.
Does talking about kitchen scraps count as a "Foodilicious" post? Do you compost? Do you seek recycleable packaging? DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR REUSABLE SHOPPING BAGS? If not, I can lend you my children. But you have to feed them.
