Clean out your fridge…and SAVE the EARTH! CTWW

Cupboards are looking pretty bare...partially because the baby plays in there and I have to keep things out of his reach.  This is where I store all of my dry goods from the Bulk Bins.

Have you been avoiding those green beans in your fridge this week and that can of peas that has become known as “furniture of the cabinet”? Well if anything is growing fur by all means compost it or throw it out (in a biodegradable trash bag of course). But if its edible USE it!

Activism at the Grocery store…battle of the Plastic Chicken Dome…

As part this weeks CTWW (Change the World Wednesday) Challenge by Small Footprints, we were to become activists…calling out stores and eateries who need to improve packaging or practices that are harmful to the environment.
