But truth be known most enviromentally smart people aren't crazy, so today I knew this challenge and wanted to do this. So today when I went to the grocery store, I spent 3 bucks, and got the reusable canvas bags (which hold a ton!!), and will start using those. In fact my grocery store gives you back a nickel for every canvas bag you use. In fact it wasn't bad at all. Oh yeah, I also usually re-do furniture. I don't know if that is recycling or nnot but i have gotten old set of bunks beds, and with a little tightening of screws and a little re-finshing they are adorable and honestly it didn't cost me a dime, because I already had the stuff.Tiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14213826615662900607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-25961360563444119052008-08-27T13:44:00.000-06:002008-08-27T13:44:00.000-06:00holy cow I don't do ANY of those things!!!

And as for disposable diapers, I haven't had a break from diapers for 8 years solid (and we just had our last baby - so I've got at least 2 more to go). Each and everyone one of those is disposable - so I am a slacker too! :)UtahJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12775212847822380816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-18906023921574125112008-08-27T00:54:00.000-06:002008-08-27T00:54:00.000-06:00Hey those reusable canvas bags are the BEST!

They hold 3x more than plastic (volume, not just weight) and that means less trips to lug it all back in the house, if you know what I mean. Awesome. The only hard part is remembering to take them to the store!

It really isn't THAT bad... And I put my daughter in cloth training pants at night instead of pull-ups (I use the plastic diaper cover over the training pants. I'm glad she has drastically reduced the number of nights that she wets!<BR/><BR/>I could try the bag thing. I'd be more likely to make my own shopping bags than buy some, and I might not do enough for our entire shopping trip. We stock up for food storage every shopping trip, so that would be a lot of bags. But I think I could easily make several bags to bring for shopping.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591387295768935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-40762483468170483962008-08-26T13:24:00.000-06:002008-08-26T13:24:00.000-06:00Today I actually took my plastic bags into be recy...Today I actually took my plastic bags into be recycled. I save them, with the intention of doing it, but always forget. So, I had a BUNCH to recycle. I aleady recycle everything we can, replace bulbs with the energy efficient ones, use material bags when we don't have a lot to get, goodwill everything we don't use, use enviromentally friendly soaps and stuff. One of my friends is so into it that she *makes* her own detergent. I'm not that committed yet.TroxelTribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05333221560911681108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-75876505800515370982008-08-26T10:24:00.000-06:002008-08-26T10:24:00.000-06:00I am not being even vaguely serious about the diap...I am not being even vaguely serious about the diaper thing- I think that even in dire circumstances I would still find a way to use disposable diapers.<BR/><BR/>dysfunctinal mom & stacey: wow. I am impressed already and it is still morning. I hope someone else out there is a slacker like me!

I will make great effort to do that, I also don't know how to find information on where to recyle and what can be recycled to do more like that. I too cut coupons and then let them sit around until they are expired then throw them away. Sorry can't even imagine the diaper thing yet, maybe next child. :(The Royal Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099392907963359422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-34586329893197540132008-08-26T06:52:00.000-06:002008-08-26T06:52:00.000-06:00I too use my own bags, but nothing bothers me more...I too use my own bags, but nothing bothers me more than when the clerk doesn't appear happy because I'm messing with her routine....hello, I'm just trying to save the earth!<BR/><BR/>I'm also a huge recycler, but it's easy to do because they pick-up on the curb every friday.
