Every now and then, something
happens that causes me to question
myself . . .
If I'm eating on paper plates, I use
only one, and if it doesn't get dirty,
I'll use it again. I use less toilet
paper than more, I may use half
the laundry soap recommended,
etc.
I do recognize that I grew up in
a somewhat impoverished home.
I am so proud of my parents for
never making a big deal about it.
But, I don't think it has anything
to do with the way I am today.
Rather, I am extremely conscious
of Mother Earth and I refuse to
squander her resources. Why
should we use paper plates when
we can wash glass dishes? Why
pitch plastic bags when they
can be used over and over again?
Why throw away our left over
veggies when they are the
beginnings of a delish soup?
And don't even get me started on
the millions of water bottles we
throw away each day that will
take even more years to break
down. I think of that island, the
Great Pacific Garbage Patch in
the sea made completely of our
human human trash. Yikes!
Ouch!!
I suppose I could go on and on,
but I truly believe thinking these
things out and acting on them
is important . . . a saving grace
perhaps!
I will continue to be careful.
It matters a great deal to me.
I know I can do even better.
Sooooo going to make the effort!
