Now I do plastic. I do recycle all of my plastic bags, either using them for garbage bags in my house or dropping them off in the grocery recyling bin.

I think switching to paper after the first of the year is a good thought for me!!

ETA my best friend was on the Ellen DeGeneres show last spring - she was chosen out of the audience to do a little contest -- anyway, her question was, what is best for the environment, paper or plastic? She said neither and won a trip to Cancun!!

Oh really why neither?
