Continuing our Eco-friendly Efforts

It has come to my attention that today is "World Ocean's Day"!

How I miss living near the beach! The ocean is an amazing, living entity. Our planet is almost 3/4 ocean. It is beautiful and powerful. And I believe that it is part of our responsibility to care for it.

I am amazed how often people see us with our reusable shopping bags and comment, "We should start using those!" Target started last week by crediting customers 5 cents per reusable bag! What if every store did that? Imagine the possibilities!

We also purchased a door mat today from Bed, Bath & Beyond. It is made of recycled and scrap flip-flops! It is too cute and it reminds me of in college when I took a rock-climbing class and the floor of the facility was made from flip-flop remnants!

  1. LOOOOOOVE that doormat! Oh, and the green veggie bags? My friend Kim bought them at Smart and Final, I bought some from Target (in the stuff-you-see-on-tv section, of all places!), and I found them at Vons/Safeway; you can always buy them online, too! Good luck! Let me know how you like them if you manage to pick some up!
