I'm getting as bad as Jason. While he may do some crazy things that I don't understand or have a hard time following through with, I do manage to do a few things to try and be more green. I work part-time outside the home and on those days I take my lunch and snacks with me. I use glass containers so that I don't have to worry about the "evils of plastic" when heating up my lunch at the office. I take my own silverware because I don't trust the office ones are clean enough...plus I'm lazy and don't want to have to wash anything while I'm there with the non-green "dangerous" cleaners. And I put it all in a re-used lunch sack that we've stashed away for this very reason and will use over and over until it actually falls apart. Then, of course, it'll head to the recycle bin. The only thing Jason wouldn't approve of is the one plastic baggie that I use to hold things like grapes or pretzels. I admit, I am a fan of the baggie. I don't see the point of lugging around another glass container just for grapes. And since we don't own any plastic, the baggie works for me. But, here's where I hope I make up for it.
I also bring home all my trash. Yes. Banana peel, grape stems, empty Sprite can, even the used napkins get carted all the way home with me to put in the proper recepticle. After all, it would be tragic to let the cleaning crew throw away my trash at the end of the day.
Oh, the things we do for love...because it has nothing to do with the environment. ;)
