I have a bunch of them lying around, and even when I keep them in the car I still forget to bring them into the store. So I’m a failure in that regard. But, I use paper bags from the grocery store for my garbage, so I feel like that’s a different but sorta kinda green way of dealing with garbage.

Okay, Cindy, point taken. I’m back! My last deadline nearly did me in.

About 8-9 vendors came and I managed to get my hands on 4 recyclable grocery bags. Of course, I’ve now officially done my grocery shopping twice since then and forgot the bags both times.

We’re also in the process of converting our back yard (which was about 6,000 sq ft of lawn when we bought it) to rock gardens, drought tolerant beds and a vegetable garden. Though I’ll admit, it’s more because I’m too cheap to pay for all that water than conservation.

I do like the double-bonus of cost savings when it comes to being green, though. Or is it the double-bonus of being green when you’re trying to cut living expenses? ;-)
