    Picked up trash next to the river today. As I am picking things up a guy drives by and tosses his cigarette butt out the window. How Rude.......

    Came all the way to north Georgia and managed to tell a cashier of a local farmers market about reducing plastic........ she looked at me like I had 2 heads. Oh well....... you cant reach them all.

    Tried a new recipe yesterday..... used veggies and meat not wrapped in plastic packaging. Packed the left overs for dinner today in a reusable glass container! All those worked great and didn't add anything to my process...... except that the leftovers remained in the fridge when I went to work......
