1. I picked up some of the reusable grocery bags at the store (and am actually remembering to take them to the store). Yay, fewer plastic bags in the world--though I'll have to occasionally pick some up to scoop cat boxes into, I imagine.

2. I have dug out my faithful ol' Boxhill mug and have requested the nice coffee elves to put my morning dose in it, instead of a paper cup. This is a little bit of a nuisance to be hauling it around with me to and fro, but then I think of a year's worth of paper cups piling up somewhere and have no grounds to moan at all.

I have not advanced to the point of buying better-produced foods. I'd surely like to, but it's pricey enough feeding a house in the necessary manner as it is (if I upped the starch quotient, for instance, things would be a lot cheaper, but that would be a very bad health idea). Pondering this and hoping a solution presents itself. --At that, I don't know how virtuous Trader Joe's is. I should look into it; maybe we're doing pretty well as is.
