Reusing receipts

My wife came up with a pretty good idea for making shopping lists. Just take your old receipt (grocery or otherwise), flip it over, and write your shopping list on the back. It saves paper, and can make for easy comparison shopping. It works well for us with grocery receipts since they are generally pretty long, and is a weekly occurrence.

No Impact Man

I just came across this great blog by a guy in NYC who is trying to reduce his family's impact on the environment for a year. This means avoiding plastic, eating locally, no TV or movies, giving up cars, subways, new items in packaging, and even toilet paper! Its a bold experiment, and I'm sure they're learning so much from it. It reminds me of the book "Better Off" that I read last year, but they're in NYC! Definitely worth a visit!
