"Paper or plastic?"





Neither is a good option, but at least paper bags don't end up in the trees. I probably don't have to remind this readership to carry your own bag when going to the store. Plastic is okay if you reuse it; you can scrunch it up in your pocket and pull it out at the store when the bagger asks the big question, "paper or plastic?" If they ask at all, CVS only has plastic and Whole Foods only has paper. Paper is made from trees of course. Trees produce CO2 which cleans the air. That IS useful I must say. I'd rather bring my own bag and let the tree breath in the bad air and breath out the good.

The above photos were taken on a recent trip to NYC to visit Carrie. This is nothing, you should have seen the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina! Trash has to go somewhere and it often doesn't stay put. A good wind can spread it far and wide. Into the trees and out to the ocean. Sea turtles and dolphins have a lot of trouble digesting those things!

Sorry to be preaching to the choir. But it's fun up here in the pulpit!


Calley wants everyone to know that she recycles bones.

Great, Barb. We ALL need constant reminding!

Does Calley know that soon she will be shouldering "saddle bags" and walking to the store with her mistress, leaving the antiquated auto technology behind and truly being a contributor to "green" revolution?
Ok, for Calley this works. How do I break this to Teddy as the revolution spreads West?
