So along with thinking about going green comes green guilt. The other morning it seemed like everything thing I did brought some guilt. I used too much toilet paper, I used a paper towel, I left the lights and TV on, I just threw away a bunch of half used napkins, I used ant poison after finding (again) more ants under the sink, I bought and ate a little microwave meal kit which included the out box, a throw away bowl with a plastic cover, and 4 plastic pouches with food inside them, and a plastic fork enclosed in a little plastic bag, and then I ate McDonald's which obviously isn't good for the environment however you look at it. It's hard not to feel guilt when about half the things I do seem to be against green. It's like I take one step forward for green and 2 steps back. I feel like I just don't have enough time or organization to do real good green work.
On the other side, I have done a few things I've been proud of lately. I bought bulk yogurt instead of the little cups of yogurt. I did not take a bag 2 times this week from the store and just carried out my small purchases and my cloth napkins came and we started using them. I just wish that I had some time and clean mind to figure out how to change some of my habits.

April, you're doing great! It will come with time. You're making a valiant effort to do this and that matters more than how well or how poorly you feel you are doing at it. Keep us posted!
