I have to admit that the pain at the gas pump is having one good effect on people....we're all thinking "greener."    Many people are trying to find ways to not only save money, but also help the environment at the same time.   I've started not accepting plastic bags at stores.    It's a hard habit to get into, but it sure can make a difference.   One plastic bag takes 200 years to degrade in a landfill!   That's a lot of plastic bags for a lot of years!   I also try to re-use plastic bags as much as I can.    But it doesn't stop there....whether you're using organic products, taking the bus, or just turning off your air conditioning, it's all saving money and energy, and letting Mother Earth breathe!   I'd love to get a hybrid car, however right now there is a waiting list a mile long for one.    Still $70 to fill up my tank is getting a little old.   So how are you helping make things greener
