I think it has the potential to be good, or dangerous. It honestly depends on who you're dealing with. I'm glad even your youngest is into recycling :) Derek ~ Good resolutions. Vegetarian eating is good for the planet. I agree. At least people could cut out one source of meat; even that would make a huge difference. Melinda ~ Thanks! I totally agree, unless we spread green living to our kids it really makes no difference what we do. We have to create long-term change; not simply short solutions. Thanks for visiting.

The important thing is to take action of course which I do myself and encourage young folks in my care to do the same. Unless we raise awareness among the youth we will be fighting a losing battle.

While the idea behind it is great, it really depends on the people. We have way too many 'wants' instead of offers. I did get a huge bag of cloth diapers from one nice lady on Freecycle, though. Teaching my kids to recycle now, too. Even my smallest helps pull the labels off of cans to be put on the curb. The two older kids talk non-stop abut the new things that will be made from our recyclables. I joined Freecycle several years ago when they started a group here in Buffalo.

I agree that's a good goal because we can share through other means as well. In fact all your goals are good. Peggy ~ Now where did you get those ideas? :D Maybe only use muffin cups with feet! The paper napkin one is awesome. You'll wonder how you ever didn't use cloth. Debra ~ FreeCycling can be cool; depending on where you live.

And not using wrapping paper: use cloth or newspaper or old maps. How about: FreeCycling (freecycycle.org), bringing your own bags to the grocery store, buying in bulk when possible.
