Green Resolutions

Luke is pleading with us to start off fresh this January. We are talking about resolutions here --   the kind that make a difference to the planet not just to you when you look in the mirror. Why not make a vow to never again take a plastic bag from a store or shop? Or, how about asking for take-out in paper containers and hold the plastic-ware and condiments, especially if you are taking out but eating in. 
Oh, while we are on the subject, why not wash out those Ziplock bags? You know you only had carrot sticks in them, as per your vow to stop eating those brownies from the vending machine at work. C'mon you know the ones -- ingredients list so long it's in 3 pt. type and still does not fit on the back of the packaging. Check out these guys, they actually make forms that fit in the dishwasher to help you with this.

But we digress. Make three "green" changes this New Year. We guarantee that it will be much easier to do than running on a treadmill 4 days a week or abstaining from chocolate. 
If you still want to ease on in to this, we've pick three that are no brainers:
1) Turn off the lights when you are not in the room!
2) Turn off the faucet when you are brushing your teeth!
3) Buy a GG2G tote for the grocery store!

If you would like more tips for being green check out our friends at Green Living Tips.

Make Luke Happy

okay..okay...I'll never take a plastic bag away from a store again. That's like stopping smoking for some others. I always forget those darm 99cent bags and they break...So, guess I must buy a really good bag that I won't forget from your collection.
Hugs, Maureen
