    Just ordered my first official set of reusable produce bags, 6 bags in 3 different sizes. Can't wait to get them! Now going to order some reusable bamboo paper towels, too!

    I've been recycling for years, but realize that we need to do much more to keep this earth a green, clean, inviting place to live. It may be a small part I play, but it is my part and I am willing to open myself up to new suggestions and tasks.
