Today is Blog Action Day, where bloggers around the world are all thinking and writing about one thing: the environment. Though I'm all for this idea, I'm not really sure what to write about.
I don't really have a pet-peeve when it comes to the environment. In general, I just try to be conscious of what I'm consuming and why, which I have found to be the best way that I can contribute. I don't normally bag my produce in separate plastic baggies. I like to use reusable storage containers. I recycle. I re-use paper towels when possible. I bought a car with good emissions and gas mileage. I try not to use more water than necessary. I try not to buy bottled water and, when I do, I buy a big bottle instead of lots of little ones. I try to remember to take my re-usable bags to the store. When I do get plastic grocery bags, I re-use them. I don't take more napkins than I need. I rarely use disposable dishes or utensils.
There are so many little things that we can do to reduce and reuse. I try to do as much as I can. But what do you think? Do these things help? Do they make a difference? What else could I do (and please note- the above is not a comprehensive list!)? What do you do?
