Thanks for the chance! BTW- I'm really enjoying your site. Thanks for all the insight.

For the same reason…….please, please don’t release balloons.

I always happy to meet any adult that is environmentally concious, but I feel bigger things can be accomplished if you work with children. I work at our county middle school and started an environmental group. Middle school aged kids are very eager to learn and pass along this information. Just getting the ball rolling for these kids was all it took to start an environmentalmovement. The kids collected 7500 pounds of paper to be recycled in 3 months as well as starting numerous projects and programs. I am so proud to be a part of something making a difference.

Here in Iowa there is so much corn grown and sprayed with a tremendous amount of pesticides. It's unhealthy for us who live here and unhealthy for those who eat the livestock that eat the corn.

My son gets into it also because he likes to wear his backpack to the farmer's market. People take for granted that we just have to use plastic bags. I believe we all could use some inlightenment, and some tote bags. I love using the bags that I already have, this bag give away is a great idea.
