I've been blogging (http://greensimplefrugal.blogspot.com) about my own little steps - taking little steps is the only way I can actually hold myself to an eventually drastic change in consumption habits. These papers end up all over the street when it's windy and nobody seems to actually want them. I know I don't. I'm all for supporting local businesses, but come on. Maybe I'll start calling them all.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00683655933935098511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843688607135360107.post-37785206912736393712008-03-01T08:45:00.000-08:002008-03-01T08:45:00.000-08:00Some stores are very helpful with packing in your ...Some stores are very helpful with packing in your own bags and some are not.

I've been begging Planned Parenthood, which I give money to, to take me off their paper mailing list and can't seem to make it stop. They promise they will do it, and still I receive at least one mailing from them per week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
