In my business, taking a 3rd day for my weekend simply means that instead of 3 days of work on Monday, I'll have 4 days of work on Tuesday. And ... I have a (delayed) day-long orientation on Wednesday which means I will miss that day, have 2 days worth of work on Thursday, and at some point in all that mess I have to close up the month of May and open up the month of June.
Yikes.
To cheer myself up from all this depressing work talk, I thought I'd sum up three things I did this week to make my life a little greener and decrease my carbon footprint.
1. Bought sweet corn in it's own wrapper (husks) instead of shorn, wrapped in plastic, and balanced with a tray of styrofoam. REDUCE!
2. Bought 2 pair of Ann Taylor capris from the thrift store. REUSE!
3. Emptied the recycling bin. I am very thrilled to tell you that we recycle about 5 times more than we throw away. RECYCLE!
Anyone who tells you going green is expensive, hasn't compared the price of new Ann Taylor clothing with thrift store Ann Taylor clothing. I bought these exact capris for $7.99, and another pair for $5.99 in pink.
And anyone that tells you that going green is a political statement, hasn't read Genesis.
