I know, I don’t have babies any more but still like looking at children products. Blame it on hormones or what is left of them.

Since I coordinate recycling for cash at my school, I am always looking for green fundraising ideas or just plain good sense take back [...]
Today we were at Costco to buy food for an upcoming party. As I peered into the shopping cart, I saw a Crunch Pak’s plastic container full of plastic wrapped baggies of organic apples slices. Maybe it is me, but is this an oxymoron? Individually wrapped organic apples swaddled in plastic with more plastic around it? [...]
