You Might Be an Eco Chick If…..
…….you have so many tote bags that you end up giving the person at the checkout line behind you a couple to keep them from plastic-bagging it. You think that maybe some free reusable bags is all that it will take to convert them.
…….you get crazy dehydrated because you REFUSE to buy water in a plastic bottle and you forgot your Sigg at home. Then you get really mad because the public water fountain seems like an endangered species.
……..you decide to paint your wood floors (hey, it’s trendy at least) because you can’t deal with the refinishing chemicals being in your bedroom, using no-VOC paint of course.
…….you carry around your old cell phone in your bag for weeks because you just KNOW you’ll eventually come across a place to recycle it (and you do)!
