Tattle Tale Tuesday

It's all mom's fault.

She was so busy doing this....

That she forgot to post about this....

We Took The Dare and this is how we save the environment. Not only does mom recycle everything she possibly can, but we use the store bags instead of paper or plastic. We have two red, two blue, two green and two lavender.

We get a nickel off our groceries for every bag we use. That adds up when you stop and consider that after one year that would be $20.80. That is a bag of dog food! Or lunch for PlusOne for ten days. Every little bit adds up. Just like every little bit of recycling or working to save the environment adds up.

sooo....I have an eternal struggle with the reusable grocery bags. I have them. I have quite a few of them. But EVERY time I go grocery shopping - I forget them. They never make it back into my car after unloading them the few spare times I remember to use them.....what can I do to make myself remember??? Does your mom have any good tricks that she could share wtih us, Roxy?

Daisy said...

Maybe we will start using those special bags, too!

You guys rock for helping save the environment. My mom could use a lesson from you!!

PS: That blue paint is so pretty and calming!

That was an excellent way to do the dare--even a few days late.

Woof Roxy

You have a really cool Mom and talented too.
Yeah, $20.80 is a lot, at least to us pups. That's several boxes of Milkbones. Anyway, just stopping by to say woof.

Your Mom is real busy! And we like the environment initiative! Mom do the same thing around here with the recycling and shopping bags!

Mom's been thinking about getting some bags like that ... good going for the environment!

We should get some of those shopping bags - wonder if they make them to fit PERFECTLY in the bottom of the granny-cart? But then what would we do about picking up the poo? We recycle our grocery bags in the dog park!

Ohh we have green bags we use and I love to snuggle on them (even tough they are not really soft) and I get my little paws all tangled in the handles!
