Earth Day

So for Earth Day yesterday Dan & I:
  • telecommuted and saved gas (okay, I guess I really did that for myself. love working from home!)
  • took the stairs instead of the elevator to my doctors appt
  • brought reusable bags to the grocery store, where we bought local produce whereever we could
  • wiped the hard disk from an ancient laptop, and collected a bunch of used batteries, to bring to the "personal electronics recycling drive" today at work
  • hoped to install the solar panels we bought a couple of months ago, but discovered we had the wrong mounting brackets and had to reorder the right size. hopefully they'll be received soon and we can install this weekend.

Yay me!

Whoo hoo! We stayed home yesterday too. :) We've been using reusable shopping bags for a while. I hate it - HATE it when we forget them. I always feel guilty.

we use the reuasable bags too... used to forget them ow placed in a corner that we have to pass before we leave, and once established the habit has stuck!

I always forget my bags! Now, I store a few in the car, and one in my tote bag, and a couple in the backpack!

Yay, you, indeed!

I took the bus but mostly because Wednesday is my regular "bus" day.

I had lunch at Whole Foods and got a reusable bag for free!

I take the stairs whenever I can at work and have even joined a couple of other ladies who do the stairs in the afternoon for exercise!
