My personal war on packaging

I recycle like a crazy person and try to buy everything in recycled packaging at the least but I have been thinking.......so much energy is required to RECYCLE the recyclable packaging.

This is not going to be about how many bottoms I wiped or what I had for lunch, just a place to pass on stuff that I pick up along my way - with a "green" environmentally-aware bent to it. And now I've put a "mama's blog" tab on my web page, I better write something!
