Going Green

Content by Kyle Lowe

I am all about 'going green' and protecting mother Earth! My family recycles, drink from reusable aluminum water bottles, and try to conserve water and electricity in our home. I would love to get a new electric car and save on gas! The other day I was in the Apple store and the sales clerk pulled out a smart phone to use online bank card processing . I was amazed when she asked me for my email address so she could email me my receipt! How genius! What do we ever do with receipts anyways? They just seem to clutter my purse until I finally clean it out and throw them all away!

I have to admit, though, that I wasn't too thrilled when I asked for a straw at a restaurant and they brought me an Eco-friendly paper straw. It got all soggy while I was drinking my soda! I have to commend them for trying, but maybe we should try a reusable glass straw. Of course, that wouldn't really work with kids. But I don't think anyone is interested in drinking their beverage through a soggy straw!
