My Contribution


I am not overly concerned about my carbon footprint.
I am pretty sure that landfills and what goes in them is NOT our biggest problem.  I do try to do my part if I can...and not be crazy about it.
If I just buy a few things, I never have them put it in a bag.
It is silly to pick out 3 apples and put them in a produce bag, then the *store* people put it in ANOTHER bag. 
I tell the checker, I don't need a bag....I'll save a plastic tree.
Most of them don't even come close to getting it.
And then Once In A Blue Moon I will remember to bring my neat little bag inside the store for my purchase.
This one was from Wawa in New Jersey.  It's their version of Buc-ees.
(whatever)
So, I give the bag to the checker, she fumbles around with it, it won't snag the little hook that's on the circle thing they put groceries on....she says, "Aw, that's nice, you bring a bag from Wal-Mart to put your KROGER groceries in."
I said, it isn't a Wal-Mart bag.  Then she looks at it closer and says *OH!*
Wawa.
Like she's been to one.
I figure I put enough disposable diapers in landfills, the least I can do is carry my apples out in the produce bag.
It isn't so bad.

Love the "twist" at the end :)

It isn't easy being green!

I am surprised the cashier said that! Doesn't sound very friendly. I use Safeway bags at Fred Meyer (Kroger, actually) all the time, because Safeways reusable bags are so much nicer. Insulated, nice stiff bottom, sturdy. I don't think it is supposed to matter WHAT bag you use, as long as they are reusable.
Uhhhhhhhh!

yay for Wawa! When I first met my hubby I had never heard of it and I thought it was some weird way of saying Walmart ... those Jersey people, weirdos. lol

I would like a cup of Wawa coffee.....and I'd like it from the Wawa close to 57.

Oh! I'm for sure going to leave a carbon foot print or whatever they call it, with all my diaper changing over the years!
I love WaWa! Hehhee!

this and that

So, I get up this morning, and the rag-rug fairy tied all my rag-rug pieces together and had them wound in a nice ball.  I think I will leave more out tonight and see if it can happen again. OK.  I like Ross now.  These shoes were $1.49.  Purple velvet DUCK SHOES.  IN MY SIZE.  My plans are to go into that store every time I get groceries from now on.  Can't beat $1.49 for some of the neatest shoes in the world. I have seen this in a couple of places on blogs and the internet in general.  I was fully planning on ordering one....but our Kroger store had them for $12 something.  We've made 6 or 7 cups of coffee with this in our K-pot....and I am tickled to have it. I can now buy fun kinds of ground coffee.....not to say that Wal-Mart store brand decaff is a fun brand, but it's what I always used to drink.  And I lived. These are useful, not beautiful.  I need useful when I garden.  I bought some very low cost sni...
