anarchy with a note attached
maura @ 2:39 pm
I wasn’t going to blag today, but then during my morning interwebs reading I learned that today is Blog Action Day and the topic is the environment and, well, you know I loves me all things green + crunchy so here I am. But I only have a few minutes, so let’s make this snappy!
I sketched out a few post ideas in my head while I was making lunch earlier, then I realized that all of them were about how things we’ve bought recently have made our lives greener. And then I felt sort of guilty, because it’s better to not drive at all than to drive a Prius*, right?
* Metaphorically, of course. We don’t have a Prius. And no Prius endorsement, positive or negative, is intended.
So I thought I’d list a few things I haven’t bought recently, instead.
1. With just a few exceptions (a hat for me, and bathing suits and underwear for both of us), I haven’t bought new clothing for me or Gus all this year. (Sadly, shoes for Gus are another story. Man, kid feet grow fast!)
2. The only books I’ve bought this year are one for school and the new Harry Potter. Yay for the public library!
3. I’ve really done a lot more listening to new music online this year, surfing MySpace pages and music blags. I got one CD for my birthday, but that’s it.
An extra bonus to #2 and #3? No new storage space necessary!

Hey Christina! I wish we had a hand me down source, but Gus is the oldest cousin. Actually I was thinking of posting to PSP asking if anyone with an older boy wanted to be a hand me down source for us. And I should add that our families give him clothes as gifts so it’s not like he doesn’t have anything new. But that Goodwill on Livingston + Bond is really excellent!
Hey! I found you in blog land. :) I love all your green ways. :) You are so way ahead of me on the clothes thing. Not that we buy a lot, but I would love to be thrifting it more than we do. At least the girls have so many clothes they barely fit into their drawers, all hand me downs.
