just keep swimming, there won't be an ocean there forever. Unless, we do something about it!

Just keep recycling and putting your rubbish in the bin, and in the correct bins. That’s such a great way to help the earth’s oceans without putting in your whole life's worth. Not everyone has to be an environmentalist to change the earth. Anyone can, and you can. Keep doing you, and keep making the earth and greener, cleaner, and better place.

Carissa at Creative Green Living made over a dresser found at the curb with a fab little surprise on the drawers: stenciled decorative patterns. Very nice.

Bag it!: Re-using grocery bags

Hey y'all,

So one thing that I dislike about grocery store shopping is having all those darn plastic bags. The tree huger in me hurts throwing the plastic bags in the trash. So here are a few ways to re-use your plastic bags.

1. Save for shipping/moving

Instead of packing peanuts or tissue paper, use grocery bags to pack your fragile items when shipping or moving. When moving/shipping/storing glass wear, I put a grocery bag tightly packed into the glass, then surrounds the glasses with extra plastic bags to help avoid breaking when they shift on the move.

2. Use as a trash bag

If you have a small trash can or waste can say in your bathroom or in your bedroom, etc. instead of using a huge trash bag, use a grocery bag.

3. Use as extra hanging storage

So this is a great idea (if I do say so myself). Great for socks and other small items. Hang the grocery bag off your closet door, or of a shelving basket. Great for small apartments and recent grads trying to save some money.

4. Use for the garden

When going out to pick your garden, take a plastic bag (or more depending on how amazing your garden is) and harvest the vegetables into the bag. You can then place in a crock or directly into the fridge. Also, great when you are giving your veggies to a friend/family member.

5. Use for pot lucks

I just did this the other day. If you are bringing a dish to a party, place in one or more bags to assure it doesn't get all over your car.
