And WF does a much better job with small portions at lower prices (like with their sliced pepper mix, $1.77 for the perfect amount compared to $4 for a whole one that I will throw 1/2 of away!). I still pick up a lot of things at other stores, but I'm buying a little more there as time goes on! <br /><br />And Tippie, yes, worshiping the earth is not right, but caring for it, that's something I can get behind! And there are so many easy ways to be better stewards, I figure I should do what is within my grasp :) Yay for being as green as we can!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771205678312556376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34594302.post-65402694042013476592012-02-08T22:33:35.608-07:002012-02-08T22:33:35.608-07:00I completely agree that we need to care for the ea...I completely agree that we need to care for the earth in the best capacity we can. We've tried shopping at Whole Foods for groceries, and while the food is awesome and good for you and all that, it outright <i>doubles</i> our grocery bill. And when we can only afford to spend $150 every two weeks to feed four people, well, we must take that into consideration.<br /><br />Caring for the earth is good. Absolutely. We recycle, we at least reuse the plastic bags, getting more life out of them than one use, we try not to drive any more than necessary.<br /><br />But I suppose if it comes down to "adequately provide for the family" or "save the earth"... Well, I suppose when it comes down to it, my priorities are on the people, not the planet.<br /><br />That said, I <i>do</i> make it a point not to tromp through the earth with no regard to preserving nature, but it has to be done in the capacity that I am able in my everyday life, while still providing what is needed for the people I care for.MangyCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02448555438707438378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34594302.post-31670120470917766982012-02-08T22:29:04.134-07:002012-02-08T22:29:04.134-07:00I agree with you -- it is important to take care o...I agree with you -- it is important to take care of the earth, after all that's something God instructed Adam and Eve to do. I do, on the other hand, have a HUGE problem with people who seem to put too much strength and care into the matter that they are literally worshiping the earth, and not it's Creator. I've never been huge on the whole 'green thing', but I do take measures to make sure I'm not hurting the earth carelessly. <br /><br />We get plastic bags from the store at times, even if we do have reusable bags, because we find use with the plastic -- we don't throw it away, we reuse them for other things. <br /><br />I do feel sorry for those who seem to worship the earth, though -- I mean, it is going to be burnt up with fire when God decides to end the world. :PTippiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07795438645286906864noreply@blogger.com
