And the preaching continues...

While a few people are still talking about Earth Day, thought I would share one more thing with you...

Ever wanted to be an early adopter? Here's your chance! So it's not a tech gadget or a fashion trend, but you will still be making a statement. Most of us are now adopting the use of resusable bags for shopping, but we're still putting produce in plastic and those bags are also filling up the landfills and spilling into our oceans. So I started using resusable cloth produce bags at the supermarket and Farmers' Markets, too.

I saw Ecobags.com spotlighted on Oprah's Earth Day show last year, and finally got around to ordering these bags late last fall. They're great and definitely cut down on the plastic. I have to be the only one using them in Hawaii - or at least at the Barber's Point and Pearl Harbor commissaries - but the cashiers are slowly getting used to me! I have a half dozen in mixed sizes and I throw them into the wash with the whites every couple of weeks.

That's it from me on the subject...really! Thanks all.
