OneGreenMommy – I couldn’t agree more. I feel like it’s my duty as a “resident” of this planet to NOT take advantage and expect the “she” will just take care of herself!

Tara – it is sad that there are those that say they “just don’t buy it”… but those people exist. And I’m like you… I believe we do need to set an example for our kids. As the quote says…we borrowing this planet from them! And I refuse to be a part of the problem… the problem does exist!

Wow, there are a lot of things “made up” out there, but how recycling could be made up is a new one.
It’s not hard to recycle and/or re-use items. It’s pretty simple and rather than just putting more and more trash and pollution into the environment, everyone could at least recycle, donate, re-use, etc and thus put a little less pollution out there.
As OneGreenMommy said, “…small things make a big impact.”
Our children learn from the example we set and I want mine to value their environment and help take care of and preserve it.

I’m with you Doreen! How anyone can argue that recycling and reducing your consumption and waste is not helping is beyond me! We each have a responsibility to do our part and we know that small things make a big impact. Just the other night my husband asked me if we were to try and measure how much waste we’ve cut down by not using paper napkins and paper towels and plastic bags, would it fill up a room, and I bet it would! And that’s just one family who has been doing this consistently for 1 year. Imagine how that will add up. And for our kids to grow up with these values and pass it along. It’s immeasurable.

I hope “Blockbuster Guy” has seen the error of his ways — and all the other naysayers out there!
