Styrofoam bypass

I sent my father-in-law to Chili's to pick up their salsa and chips (a favorties of ours!). I armed him with a tuppeware and Whole Foods shopping bag. Chili's put the salsa in the tupperware for us instead of the styrofoam containers they usually use, and he carried it and the chips (in a plastic bag - need to figure out the alternative solution there) home in the WF bag instead of their plastic 'to go" bag.

I wonder how many other restaraunts would be willing to do the same for take out?? I know Jennifer and Calvin did some creative take out packaging recently, too.

That's great. The more we do this the more it will become "normal".

Welcome Visitors!

If you're reading for the first time, it may feel a bit like you've just walked into a conversation that has been going on for awhile.

So to catch you up...

Jennifer started this blog because she was going through the process of becoming more conscious of her lifestyle choices and had decided to "go green". As she talked to her friends she quickly realized that she was not the only one interested in making changes. The blog was born. We used this as a place to discuss things we've tried and to support each other in the journey.
