Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day!
Today is the 38th annual celebration of the planet we call home, and a day to step back and think about things we can do to preserve and restore our natural resources…
So that’s the official line on Earth Day, but I want to know: what do YOU think about Earth Day?
Is it a time to reflect on accomplishments?
A time to call for more action?
Or something in-between?
Send a post, let us know, then go outside and do something good for the planet.

More thoughts on plastic bags
After yesterday’s post, I started thinking about other places where plastic bags might be eliminated from one’s daily routine.
It’s not the easiest thing to do.
As a dog owner, I hit the dilemma of needing a sanitary way to scoop my pets’ leftovers, as per neighborhood rules. I have yet to find a scooping tool that’s easy to clean and picks up the goods as easily as the ol’ five-fingers-in-the-bag technique, and I haven’t had a chance to try the biodegradable bags I’ve heard are available at some pet stores. Anyone have suggestions?
Likewise, the trash presents an issue. I’ve thought about using grocery-size bags and making more trips to the dumpster, or just sucking it up and scrubbing the 30-gallon can every few weeks. Again, if anyone has suggestions, I suspect other readers and I would appreciate you sharing them.
