bags in cereal boxes

We eat a box of cereal almost every two weeks here at the Green H. I buy the organic stuff - brand and type depend on my mood. This week I bought Envirokidz Koala Crisps. No, they aren't really healthy, but they looked good and I was feeling generous towards the littlest man.

We recycle the boxes, but what to do with the bags? You can't recycle them, so I went on the web looking for some ideas. I stumbled on this site. It's out of commission and archived so I decided to list the uses here instead of just linking.

I've used them for a couple of these, including crushing crackers and freezing food.

What about you? Because I know you're not throwing them away, right? :)

Why I’m here

I've decided to start a blog to track my steps on the path to a greener life; this includes the family as well. I've already made many steps, but I'd like to be able to talk about them without people giving me a funny look (yes, you the guy at the sandwich shop who didn't know what to do with the reusable bag I gave you upon checkout…put my sandwiches and chips in there, please! Thank you). My focus will be mainly on things going on in my neck of the woods (North Texas), but of course we have to think globally, so I know we'll be talking about the rest of the world.

Thanks and I hope you're enjoying your path as much as we are!
