Day 4

Congratulations fellow Canadians! I have heard that we have officially completed One Million Acts of Green. Just goes to show what can happen when we all do just a little. And the great part is it can be as easy as shutting off a light when you leave the room or turning off the water when you brush your teeth.

Now we just need to get the politicians and big business on board.....

It is great to see people actually stepping up to the challenge though. We need to continue to send the message to our politicians that THIS IS IMPORTANT!

If you haven't yet you can visit CBC's site and add your act of green!

So back to Operation No Plastic. I came to the realization today that my garbage is more disgusting than the cat box. Awesome. I took my bag-free bin out to the dumpster and had to pick and peel all sorts of nasty stuff off the bottom. The worst was the vegetable peelings. Ick.

I know, I know, I should be composting but my excuse has always been that I don't want to invest in something when I move so often. Who knows, that may be my next project - this vermicomposting intrigues me. More on that later though.

Back to the garbage - it was definitely an "eeeeeewwwwwww" moment but I think I can overcome a little grossness for the sake of Mama Earth. But now every time I toss something nasty in I think, "I'm going to picking that out later...."
