why am i really really doing this?

i told you in the beginning why i’m doing this “week without buying plastic experiment,” which has been easy so far since most of my buying won’t be until the weekend. (all i’ve done is gas up my non-v6, non-4-wheel-drive toyota rav-4 before the price went up to $3.95. it gets great mileage.)

but why am i really doing this? because i couldn’t find a reporter to do it and my assistant rockford woman editor shelley hendricks egged me on. she also told me i needed my picture on the blog, so here we both are, from her wedding day 2 years ago. that’s what she gets for telling me that!

another reason i’ve tried to be smarter about the environment is my children, of course. so it’s appropriate that i started this thing the day after mother’s day (mine was great, as you can see below).
