MY BLOG IS GOING GREEN! Whoo! Hoo!

I love when things are simple and can make a difference.

I have told you about my fight against those darn bags that multiply beyond belief!

I have written reviews on laundry aids and my favorite bags...

And now with this post (and an email) I make my blog GREEN too.

Here’s how you can participate!


Just write a short blog post about the program “My blog is carbon neutral” and include one of the buttons  on your site (ideally in the sidebar). Send the link to your blog to CO2-neutral@kaufda.de and they plant a tree for you, neutralising the carbon dioxide emissions of your blog. The trees will be planted in the spring of 2010 by the Arbor Day Foundation. For more information about how and where the trees are planted, see the NEWS section.

What are YOU waiting for?  (Thanks magically ordinary for the great idea!)

Under the bathroom sink...

Normally I keep the bathroom cupboard under the sink locked. I rarely go in there anymore because it is a mess - and I only keep cleaning stuff and extra lotion, deodorant, etc. under there...

Today I was looking for a razor as my hygeine was in need of assistance...And I started to pull stuff out to find them...and, and, and, well it was JUST TOO HORRIBLE!!!

I found close to 100 plastic and paper bags under the sink that I had shoved there for trash over the last 3 years. (the last time I cleaned this cupboard was before boo boo la la was born, she will be three in January)

Why was this horrifying? It pointed out to me just WHY I bought Envirosax. Think of all the times you get offered a plastic bag and you really don't need one.

Here is the ONE THING you can do to "green the planet", buy some good bags to get groceries, stuff at the drugstore AND yes Virginia - even at Target and Macy's use those darn bags. Give them for Christmas! Give them to yourself and to your children.
