He is also on a diocesan-wide creation care group that is trying to make inroads between faith and environmental communities. <BR/>We do lots of things that I think add up:<BR/>recycling- I try not to buy things that are plastics that I can't recycle. If I can't recycle them through the city, I send them to N's school for recycle-art, or save them for my summer kids art camps for trash art.<BR/>bags- I have about 8 large and medium cloth bags that I keep in the car and use at the grocery and target, or anywhere else I shop. Sometimes Kroger will give you 5 cents off you bill per bag you use.<BR/>Library- we send them our old books and check out books rather than amazoning.<BR/>Shredder: I compost my junk mail after I've run it through the shredder. I also use it to pack my pottery for shipping.<BR/>Groceries: during season, I buy our produce from the farmers market. It is the same cost or less than the grocery store or our local produce store.<BR/>Lights: Compact flourescents everywhere we can, and keep them turned off if we're not in the room.<BR/><BR/>I'd be happy to get more ideas, too!bridgmanpotteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552084024770335560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16934013.post-80954671201536278492008-01-06T17:58:00.000-05:002008-01-06T17:58:00.000-05:00What a great story...and revelation.
