I've been making it a point to have a positive impact on our environment, not only in educating my spouse on how we can change our waste habits, but in everything we do.  Mind you it has taken a bit of conditioning to get there, just last Saturday night we rode our bicycles out to dinner.  Let's take shopping for example.  Recently, I went to WalMart to stock up on a few things.  When I got to the check out, I asked if they had paper bags.  The clerk looked at me, with disappointment and what I detected a bit of shame at not having paper to offer me.  So I took my purchase without bags.  The largest retail giant in the world doesn't even offer the choice of paper vs plastic...anyhow, I think the clerk thought I was a bit weird, but I know for a fact it made him think about a few things.  My point, positive actions in our every day life will not only help us but also those individuals that we come in contact with.  I hope you've had many positive experiences today.
