Green living is all the rage these days. Turn on the TV, the radio, open any magazine, walk into any store....that's ALL you hear about. To be brutally honest...I'm just not into it. "Learning to live in harmony with our natural environment"....don't really care. On the other hand, Britlyn has decided it is her job to be the "responsible" one in our family. A couple of months ago in school they talked about recycling. She came home and asked why we don't. I know...recycling...it's the most basic part of helping the environment. I know I should at least do that...we just don't. We did in Florida...we don't here. I told her I need to call the garbage company and get set up with the recycle bins and start doing it. She reminds me almost daily. When I throw away a water bottle...I get a disapproving look from her...and a reminder to call Rumpke. When we are in restaurants, she asks me if they recycle!!! I don't know...I don't care!!! Where did I get this "green" child...and what am I supposed to do with her!
P.S. Please, please don't comment or write to me to express your concern about my lack of concern for the environment. I know there are some basics that I should start...and I will...eventually. But don't expect me to ride my bike to the mall or buy cleaning products that don't have a good harsh bleach smell! It's not gonna happen!
