I changed the oil in my vehicles and dumped the used oil into a nearby creek. I piled a bunch of wood downfall up and threw a couple of old tires on top, poured gasoline over all of it and lit it to create a massive black smoke cloud. Then later I took my big SUV out for another joy ride, I didn't find any small animals to run down, but I drove really fast and raced the motor alot with the AC inside blowing full blast for maximum gas guzzle. Finally when I couldn't think of anything else to do, I came back home. The house was freezing. I went outside and chopped down a couple of big 30 year old pine trees. of course none of the above is true. I actually did go and buy a "bin" so that we can begin to recycle our personal plastic and glass. Happy Earth Day everyone.

Originally Posted By BoyStory 2 can be done, but 5???? Well, EeeeeW! I don't think my 3 older boys would go for sharing bath water at all. Plus, we're talking boys vs girls too. I wouldn't put my pinky toe in bathwater that my younger kids [who play very hard oudoors]had bathed in.

I took my sandwich in a reusable container and took my water in my refillable "green" bottle I am feeling very earthy today

Originally Posted By BoyStory Yeah, I'm so good about buying the bags for every store- not so good about remembering to BRING them. They just don't always make it from the laundry room where I store them back into the car!- something to work on!
