Being Green Even When it isn’t Easy

I recently had to fill out a survey. One of the questions was, “Are you green even when it is inconvenient?” Well that got me thinking.

When we are in our home it is easy being green most of the time. We shop conscientiously of what we buy. We make sure we buy everything we can naturally. We make sure if we buy things in containers that they are recyclable. We carry cloth bags in our cars to carry home our purchases. We cook from scratch to give our families the best nutrition and variety. These are all things we do to live green and naturally.

sorting the recyclables and what do these numbers mean?

My daughter and I spent yesterday afternoon going through our recycle bin. I know that sounds a bit like dumpster diving, but we had a purpose, honest we did!

One of the sad things we found out when we moved here is that they only pick up recyclables once every two weeks. For a family that fills up a large trash can of recyclables once a week this can lead to problems. So we are doing our best to conserve space and recycle along the way.

Kudos to Anheuser-Busch

For starters this is not going to be an article praising the beer industry for making beer.  But instead praising Anheuser-Busch for it’s green practices at Sea World.

Last week the family went to Sea World. It is one of our favorite places to go when we visit San Antonio, but we had yet to visit the one in Orlando. So we packed up the kids and went for a two day trip.

For starters Anheuser-Busch offers active military members and three family dependents free tickets once a year. You can pick any of their parks. See Hero Salute for more info if you are military. They even had a ticket queue just for us so we didn’t even need to wait in line.
