mociun + corwin tote...For the past couple of years, I've tried to hone in on a single Earth Day "resolution" of sorts. Last year, I decided to completely eschew paper towels, and (not to be dramatic) it was a bit, well... life changing. Namely it gave me confidence that I could go without something that I'd previously thought was so essential to our every day existence. (Let's just say I was awfully addicted to paper towels friends.)
I've struggled to come up with something similarly specific this year and instead keep veering toward broad ideas like "buy less/make more"... So I'm settling on a goal that is frankly a smidge embarrassing and mundane. Here goes:
I'm vowing to not take a single bag from the store all year.
Now maybe you're thinking, "What? Reusable bags? That's so 2003." And yes, I agree wholeheartedly, it's not exactly something exciting and new. But here's the thing, I still haven't mastered it. While I'm good about bringing my own bags roughly 50% of the time, and I'm often jamming small purchases in my purse (much to the dismay of the cashier), I still struggle with remembering them for the big shopping trips, resulting in a glut of plastic bags that is completely bumming me out.
So this goal is going to be more about some creating sort of mechanism for remembering the darn things. (I'm open to any and all suggestions here...)
So what about you friends, are you setting any goals for Earth Day? What's your "one thing" this year?
p.s. I'll be back from the beach Monday with photos aplenty + I'll announce the winner of the 1000th post giveaway (there's still time to leave a comment for a chance to win that killer necklace...)
