Just wanted to share this with everyone. I've joined an email group that offers suggestions on ways to "green my routine" every week. Here are the two challenges I'm working on now:
1. Drink Organic Juices, etc.
We drink a lot of juice at our house and I've started cutting all of it with water. I feel like that helps all of us get less sugar and more water. I've recently starting drinking Kagome juices (I buy them at Kroger). It's a fruit and veggie juice with more than just tomato juice (like in V8) or orange veggie juices (like in the Juicy Juice Harvests). I still cut it with water. :)
Here's a link to the challenge if you're interested:

2. The No Waste (or Low Waste) Lunchbox.
This one is hard for us. I've lost my lunchbox and money is too tight right now to buy a new one, but Jason and I both are using plastic bags to carry our lunches in. I worry less about Jason losing a plastic bag then I would about him losing a nice lunchbox. We reuse baggies and have switched over to glass containers for food that will be microwaved. I'm still bringing in Lean Cuisine meals some days, but we recycle the cardboard (at home, any cardboard packaging gets used for art projects!). I'm really working on this one, though. I feel like it's so much better for me to pack a lunch and it's much better for the Earth if I can get to a place where I'm creating zero waste.
Anyone else wanna play along?
