Banning Plastic Bags

Have you heard about banning plastic bags in the news? ecokids blog from Canada has a post about China banning plastic bags. Whole Foods has announced they will be banning plastic bags. I just purchased reusable bags at Publix ($1 a bag) for my grocery adventures. At this blog, you can see a YouTube video which highlights making bags out of recyclable bags. If you start looking more closely, you will see how the global movement to recycle is right in your neighborhood.

Planet Earth

My husband received the DVD Planet Earth for his birthday. We have been watching a little of it each night. It is incredible. You'll see all kinds of different biomes, animals- even rare and endangered, knock-out scenery...plus, you'll learn a lot. If you are looking for a great gift, this would be one that really helps you appreciate our beautiful planet. It also encourages me to work just a little bit harder at protecting what we have. One step I have taken is to recycle more at home. The movie- it is expensive, but worth the cost, in my opinion.

Getting Started

You made some nice contributions to the site today- exploring what we already have, suggesting some ways we can get others to look at our site- maybe with a poll, adding a comment to a post (from Snowbird), even finding a cool video on how to make a reusable bag by recycling ordinary plastic bags. Keep up the good work and watch our Web log grow!
