More Quick and Green

Tonia's quick and green tip for today is....

... Be more organized! Or less forgetful. Or less ditzy.

For example, when you go to Meijer to buy the groceries, make sure that you have some way to pay for them before you go to all the trouble to select the groceries, scan the groceries and bag the groceries. If you don't, you will have to waste precious fossil fuels driving back home to get some form of payment and then turn around and go back to Meijer and pay for them. If you insist on being airheaded, live close to Meijer.

Another example might be, when you go to the Y to workout and you bring along your husband's lunch that he forgot at home, take the lunch IN to the Y and give it to him! Do not leave it in the car, unnoticed until you return back home. You will either have to burn up more fossil fuels taking it to him, or let him waste money and Jimmy John's fossil fuels by having him order lunch. Also, if he has to order lunch, he will just create more solid waste. Granted, he should have remembered to take his lunch in the first place, but who are you to judge at this point?

If you cannot become less clueless, then get a good sense of humor and a blog so at least the whole debacle (love any chance to use a good word like that!) will have some redeeming quality.
