Wow alot has happened since my last post! Let's see here...

My dad and I are now officially cancer survivors.

I just finished reading a book called "Garbage Land." I could hardly put this book down! It is about a New York woman who follows every type of waste that she produces. She follows her garbage to the landfill, her recycling to centers, and her sewage to the water treatment plant. It is fascinating.
I have had many discussions about how much we consume and how important it is for us to make conscious decisions. This book proves this to be even more important as 98% of waste is from factories and the making of those things that we throw out. Our landfill waste only makes up 2% of our nations garbage. Amazing. So as we look at that cool new item at Target not only should we consider how much packaging it has there in the store, we should attempt to find out how responsible the manufacturing company was in the making of this product. (which is not exactly easy to do)
