Older woman’s take on “that green thing”. | Eco-Friendly back in the day!
In the line at the store, the cashier told an older woman that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment. The woman apologized to him and explained, "We didn't have the green thing back in my day." The clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment." He was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day.

Potential Sponsor for BlogHer ’12? PumpEase – You need ME!!
Ok, so I won't look this hot, but I can totally see this being me at BlogHer '12! I have decided that if I'm going to go to BlogHer '12 in NYC, I'm going to need to find a sponsor.

Why she never made her own, I have no idea, but here's a very easy, short tutorial on how to make reusable bowl covers! (more…)
