Plastic Bags, power strips, and rechargable batteries

Nine months later and I'm still using the same zip lock bags I spoke about in an earlier post about recycling.

I've managed to develop a habit of cleaning and drying our bags which in the long run has saved us real cash and since I'm reusing them over and over and over I'm relieving our land fills just a tiny bit.

I never did buy a new smart strip but we do still unplug power draining devices like the tv and computers. Our electric bill went from $60 a month down to $30 a month so I know it's making a noticeable difference.

And finally, the USB port rechargeable batteries never actually caught on in our house. Yes I'm sorry to say I'm still buying boxes of batteries from IKEA. Not everyone is perfect, right?

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
