My Carbon Footprint Needs Galoshes

1095973-1703919-thumbnail.jpgI am in a constant state of carbon footprint guilt.  I am shocked when I see how much trash we can generate as a family and I canceled my bottled water services ages ago and added a filter to the tap.  But I have to wrestle with my carbon footprint demons when I see a new bottle of strange water at the grocery store.  MetroMint Lemonmint water?  Oh just one.  And on sale?  Only one, thank you.  Ayala Ginger Lemon Peel water?  Now why didn't I think of that?  It's just water after all.  And the tap water at my house is so... tappy.

 P.S.  I did finish that camping mini book.  I posted it HERE.  And by the way, hey Colette's friend- I thought you were going to sign up to be a Fiskateer?

We got ourselves a soda stream. Bubbles makes tap water a lot tastier in a "pssscht". ;)
(And try putting a few slices of cucumber in it - or bits of ginger or lemon, lime or orange... Yum! I don't like the store bought essences, but that's just me.)
It sounds tacky and outdated, I know (they tell me) but it is THE best thing we ever got. I love it! :D

I too am trying to reduce my carbon footprint.
I've saved all my breadbags - possible future craft project.
I've saved all my cardbord packaging - What am I going to make with all that cardboard I have no idea!
And all my packaging from my scrap supplies/tools..... hmmmm

so my scrap space is getting rather full of "rubbish" that I need to alter. lol

I've been trying to be good by buying stuff at the supermarket that has minimal packaging.

I know you love your lists. I stumbled across this site-thought you might enjoy.
