ugg my comment was lost...grr..lets try again. So I just read your article on reducing waste in your home and just thought Id give you some ideas from blogs I read.The shampoo bottles and plastic bottles, have you tried making more of your own bath and body products? I know its kind of hippy extreme but you might try it. www.angrychicken.typepad.com lives in portland and she makes all kinds of stuff like deodrant and shampoo. Here is a google link to all her postings on this topic. I recomend reading through her comments too because lots of people have input on this:http://www.google.com/search?q=shampoo&domains=angrychicken.typepad.com&sitesearch=angrychicken.typepad.comAnother thing that I REALLY want to do is a CSA box, I just worried I wouldnt use it all. I hear Portland has lots of option for them, and you might even find one that will do eggs for you too. ITs pretty awesome! Heres a link to what CSA is and how to find one near you.http://www.localharvest.org/csa/

Sweet article Kelli.  I was just looking at my green calendar this morning and I thought I would share a couple things with you.  1. for a few extra dollars a month your local utility will deliver wind, solar or water power, or some combination thereof.  Start by the wesite address listed on your bill.  This could be really cool for the school as well.  2.  Some other "green" office suppliers (don't forget about paper towels and toilet paper) www.thegreenoffice.com, www.recycledofficeproducts.com, www.waldecks.com, www.officedepot.com/recycle.  I haven't actually checked them out myself, but thought I would share.  Loves to both of you.

How come it did not leave my comment??  My suggesting for the 3 bucks is a bottle of 3 buck chuck at TJ's, and a movie on surf the channel for free dollars and free cents, OR a fun game "take two" taking proper care to count all the tiles (at least twice) to be sure that all 100 tiles are indeed there.  We are lucky that our game came with a few extra in case we lose some.  tee hee. Love you both.

Hey, I love your blog!  (I hoped over from Jane's.  Just had to see who "a cop and a hippie" were!)  I've just started "bagging it" too!  Here's how I remember (well, sometimes anyway!)  As soon as the bags are empty, I plop them on my purse so they go back to the car next time I go somewhere.  Then if I forget to take them in the store, I either run back out to the car and get them (helps re-inforce the rememberer!) or request "no bag".  This only works if I just get a couple things.  Love ya!  Auntie

You can get that clear plastic sheeting that you heat onto your windows with blow dryer at home depot. It helps keep the cold out and you can still see through it!
