New green life
I'm not referring to the new Greenlife Grocery in Chattanooga, which sadly I did not get a chance to visit while I was there for Christmas. No, this title refers to my new direction in life, involving the use of canvas bags for grocery shopping, recycling as much as possible, and getting rid of old electronic devices thoughtfully. The other day I went to Stop & Shop armed with piles of old plastic bags and ceremonially dumped them into the convenient plastic bag recycling bins there. I then used the bags that were left to carry my groceries. I also recently got rid of an old television by contacting the city's TV recycling department and arranging for them to pick it up. (Granted, it's against the law for the regular garbage truck to pick up tv's and computers, but still, it made me feel good inside). As they say at Tesco, every little helps.
I'm reading a lot of books right now, so get ready for some upcoming reviews including the controversial His Dark Materials trilogy. Actually, I probably won't give an extensive review of that one: I'm just going to say I agree with Evan. I'll offer a few of my own thoughts when I'm done. Also, I highly recommend Jhumpa Lahiri. I just finished her Interpreter of Maladies and am in the middle of The Namesake. I was skeptical at first (for some odd reason) but now I'm sold.

I am now the proud owner of a "green" Fairway Stores grocery bag, gift from the Belz family in Iowa.
