Well what do you know, I learned something new

I was in a training seminar today and they were discussing recycling paper. I am all about recycling paper, cans and bottles. I think it is the least we can do in this disposable society...protect the environment for our babies and their babies. But did you know you can recycle paper yourself?

No, I don't mean when you throw it in the recycle bin. Or the shredder. And no, I don't mean to compost it, or lay it in your flower beds...although those are very effective methods...what I learned today is that you can put it in your blender and blend it.

Yes, your blender. I know, my first comment was like, "What do you do, make paper martinis?" No, silly you don't drink it...did you really think I was heading down that road? You make your own paper out of it. Cool! This is a great project to do with your kids. Crafty and enviro-conscious.

I See Green

The internet is such a wonderful thing, for us shop-a-holics! Ok, so my rationale is...it is green...so that makes it ok, right? Seriously, I love these bags! They are stylish and...hmm...recyclable! These cute bags make great little lunch bags for our little girls, nieces, cousins, friends kids, next door neighbor kids and so on.

School is starting in less than a month! And hey, Christmas is less than 6 months away!

I personally own one of these bags made out of recycled rice and feed bags. Who says you need to carry a bulky diaper bag? This bag is perfect size to carry diapers, wipes and some of your tots crayons and coloring books. And you look cool carrying it...or so I like to think.

Kudos to these enviro-friendly bags!
