- First of all, thank you for the SquidAngel blessing! And I'm happy to read that you and I are on the same wavelength. Trying to be a better steward of the earth is simply what I'm trying to do. I'll never be perfect, though.

- Thank you very much for the angel blessing, Norma. I do appreciate your kindness. Your calico bags sound great...I use reusable bags all the time but those would be pretty, as well. I am making reusable sandwich and snack bags for my kids and grandkids...and for me!

- Wonderful way to inspire and hopefully those that visit will take heed for the information you have been so kind to share. People need to be made aware of the carbon footprint and stop having so many children, too. Planet earth just cannot continue to support the massive growth of the population. Young women that are still having 4, 5, 6 children need to realize the great stress this will cause the planet in future generations. It is time for every one to realize that this isn't going away until we control ourselves, our population growth and our consumption habits.
5 stars for a great lens!

- Oh Oh Cheryl! Do ya know, I just came from doing a bit of grocery shopping at Publix and got PLASTIC bags. Do ya know that the young man behind me ... the bagger had already said 'paper or plastic' when she quickly followed it up with 'oh, I see you've got your own!' Well, I must say that I was impressed as I turned to look to see. Love your lens and I hope that my quest for a greener life is as productive. ;-)

- WOW GREAT LENS! You did an AWESOME job on this lens. Great ideas and I love the way you put it all together.
Did you know that many grocery stores in the UK now charge you as much as 10p (20cents) for each plastic bag to cut down on plastic usage? If only the stores here would do that. I shop for myself, but a meagre trip to Walmart for grocery items only leaves me with about 10 bags! And a lot of stores seem to have done away with their recycling bins too - so you can't bring the bags back.
I always find a use for them though... One novel use is that my girlfriend takes a bunch home with her to England (where of course they cost) and she uses them again and again...

- Greetings! Samhain the cat says a fan stopped by her lens. Sam commends your house-sitter cat clients for acquiring a loyal feeder-person.
This is a great first lens -- I should remember to use lists more often myself! -- and a great cause to be supporting.
I'm lensrolling it on my "Yes, I Love My Hybrid Car" lens. I'm talking about green autos, but we can all help get the word out.
Another simple tip is just to put on lighter or warmer clothes instead of relying on the thermostat. It's amazing how often putting on a sun dress or a snuggly polar fleece sweater makes it unnecessary to run the a/c or heat!
As for your own car, it's pushing it to use current hybrids for hauling -- although my Prius actually holds as much as a station wagon! -- but by the time you're ready to replace your current SUV, there may be a green-alternative SUV capable of doing heavy lifting.
