On Monday I went grocery shopping and did not buy deli and produce items that were packed in rigid plastic containers that aren't accepted in curbside recycling. I received coupons for those products but did not use them.  I am thinking of asking the store to offer organic greens loose, not in a rigid plastic container.

Today I put our Christmas tree out for the city's compost pickup.

In December, I bought and installed a programmable thermostat! Now, I have to make a decision about what to do in January...
