The importance of recycling
This short clip is about the lifespan of some commonly used items. I just thought it was kind of interesting and sad how much garbage we generate and how long it will take for all of the garbage to clear the earth once we are gone. Matt and I recycle aluminum cans, and we don't really use too many plastic bottles for much, but there are all kinds of items in our home and I'm sure many other homes that are made of plastic that we throw away and cause just as much damage. Watch it if you're interested, but if not, no biggie. You have to click on the link to get to the video, I couldn't embed it, sorry!

I can't hear it 
But I've read quite a bit on this lately and its horrible. I'm so paranoid about the plastics, etc. that I use now and am trying to make conscious changes wherever I can. My boss is so over the top with going green that she is planning to use reusable nappies instead of diapers
Which is
totally turning my stomach in advance but also very cool hahahaha.. Anyhoo, she gives me good ideas all the time.
Cloth bags at the grocery store is a good one.
Or at the very least get paper instead of plastic since that biodegrades in about a month or something. I only go to the grocery store about once every 2 weeks-month, so I would have to lug a giant duffel bag with me instead of cloth tote bags!
Karma - cloth diapers aren't like they were in the past. They are actually VERY easy to use, much like a plastic diaper, and have some of the cutest prints. I used them for the boys because they were allergic to all the diapers but Pampers (and they outgrew Pampers). I was worried they would be time consuming, but they really weren't. I liked them better than disposable diapers.
We get paper bags from the grocery store. That's all the commissary uses now.
Hahahahah ash take your suitcase with wheels
Oh wow Wynter, really?
She said she doesn't know anyone that has used them and has been looking
around on message boards and what not for information.. but hasn't found much. How do they work exactly? I just can't wrap my head around the part where the baby poops to the part where the
poop is no longer staring me in the face haha.
haha...we use Fuzzy Buns http:// www. fuzzibunzstore.com/ They have liners in them, and when the baby uses the bathroom, it only gets the liners dirty (most of the time, lol) You remove the liner, replace it, and snap them back up. They're easy.
very interesting Ash. We try to recycle as much as possible and with our filter we don't even get bottled water anymore.

Good post Ash.
I guess people forget that Recycle is the last option.
Its reduce first, reuse second, and recycle last.
