This week called for more vigilance in keeping my eyes peeled for "green" opportunities, a few of which presented themselves:
I have been in the habit of using three towels when I go to the gym: one for a workout towel, one for me, and one for my long wet hair. I cut the workout towel to a small hand-towel and limited myself to one for the shower. I went to Trader Joe's and was standing in the checkout line when I realized that my reusable grocery bags were in the car. I alerted the checkout guy that I would be"right back" ...and I was!
The 6th-graders were at Outdoor Education Camp all week. Although, I had a vague recollection of what the answer was already from former experience with such campers, I asked the boys if I could toss my apple core out the window into the forest. NO!!! "Non-indigenous apple trees might grow!" "A fox might come and eat it and want more!" (I think they got the message.) So I ate it all the way down to the stem...and they were impressed.
