Earth Day 2009


My company just gave us these coffee mugs (with our own company logo obviously) for Earth Day. I'm excited for two reasons - one, I've never had a glass coffee mug- and two, they are finally starting to 'get it' about the environment. I'm the girl who turns off the lights every time I leave my office, dusts with a washable micro-fiber cloth and prints about 6 sheets of paper a month. They've even started a green committee at work to help other employees 'get it'! Sure, this could all be an evil corporate ploy to save some money, but I fully support it if it means a cleaner, greener earth.



This week, my planned environmentally friendly activities include:

  1. Filling up my brand new compost bin!
  2. Using my new work coffee mug instead of paper cups
  3. Making (or attempting to make) homemade granola bars with my friend
  4. Make washable dinner napkins so we can reduce / eliminate our paper napkins
  5. Walk (instead of drive) to two places this week (church, work, library, etc.)
