Pushing Thirty

     I find, personally, the more little things I do towards a new habit, the easier it is to promote that habit and make it instinct.  I love our Momma Earth.  I really do.  It’s hard sometimes in the middle of a city to feel as if in one little apartment I can make a difference.  So I try and take my attitude to the streets.  Here’s a little thing I do now that I hope helps.

     You went out to eat.  You’re about to go grab a seat and you also just grabbed a huge handful of napkins from the condiment counter.  Even though you’re trying to just take what you need sometimes the call of the food before you gets the better of all of us.  When you’re done and are tossing your trash in the bin, save the fifteen you didn’t use from certain doom and just throw away the three or four you used. 

     Pocket them, throw them in your purse, diaper bag, or backpack.  Not only will you be surprised at how handy those saved napkins can be, spills in the cars, kids, pets, spilling your coffee on the way up the stairs to your apartment, or is that just me, the uses are endless, but you also just took a little step that will add up to wasting a whole lot less.
