Going Green ...

Then I got another piece of good news.  Ralphs gives me 5 points for each reusable bag I use – each time!  That’s a nickel for each bag each time I shop!  Cool!

The next green endeavor on my mind is solar power for my house.  This costs a lot more than my reusable bags, so I don’t think it will happen as quickly, but I’ve started my research and I’m determined to make this thing happen.  But that’s another post.
