7.5 pounds of trash per day?

Here's a simple fact: In Texas, each person generates 7.5 pounds of trash per day and 42% is paper! YIKES!! That's alarming and makes me reevaluate. We are doing our best to recycle, but are we also reducing how much we generate? Hmmm....

While browsing the internet, I love to find new and cool Green tips, I found some cool info on www.smart2begreen.com recently. Hope you find some helpful tips and inspiration. Do tell others what you are doing to live a greener life. Share this blog. You just might inspire them to set a New Year's resolution to recycle and live greener. That's how I started January 2008, recycling paper and plastic. Now, I recycle everything I can and enjoy sharing with others.

Cold Weather and Bubble Wrap

Cool ways to reuse bubble wrap.

*You can use extra bubble wrap to protect your patio and delicate garden plants from frost.
*Expecting an overnight freeze? Put a layer of bubble wrap over your car's windshield, the ice will be covering the bubble wrap and not the glass, then you will spend less time scraping and defrosting!
*Greenhouse walls can be lined with bubble wrap to help keep the cold of winter out.
*How about lining your windows with your extra bubble wrap? A helpful barrier against the cold seeping in.

Remember, Reduce, Reuse then Recycle.
