GO GREEN GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Click on the title of this post and head over to the Mother Load to see her latest giveaway!!! I love the coffee thing because it's perfect for when you're in Tallahassee and get a Starbucks and take it to TJ MAxx and you don't want to burn your freakin' fingers off while shopping for all the sparkley bargains they have there!!!!

So people... here's what we do at McGilly's place to help our planet....we try (I say try, cos it's hard to avoid them sometimes) not to use plastic bags..... I have some wonderful shoppers from a well known Insurance Company that I happen to work for...I even have one that is thermal so will keep the frozen stuff cool. If I forget to take them I get paper bags... the clerks are kinda grumpy when you ask for paper but that's part of the fun!!!
Now, I ask you this, why don't they have the paper bags at the ready and the plastic stashed away???????

This year I am also trying a new tactic on the Christmas shopping... of course it's hard to escape plastic completely but I'm shopping for wooden toys for all the friends and family who have small children. I found the cutest and I mean CUTEST wooden jump ropes (skipping ropes) they have a lady bug and flower design for the handles!!!! There are plenty of puzzles and books and stuff that will keep them entertained and happy for longer than the plastic barbies will lay in the landfill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my Greeno friends.. hop on over to The Mother Load and get your two cents in...
