The Environmentalist

In trying to stick with the "save gas" and "small butt" themes, I have been walking to Hollywood Video. It has been a nice outing for myself and the baby. Eric decided we needed to go the today since he hadn't had the chance to ride his scooter there. He choose the windiest evening!

On the way home Eric became interested in a bottle cap that was in the gutter. Hello, yuck! After he was informed that the bottle cap was not coming in the house, he told me he was just trying to pick up trash. This was his one piece, if we all picked up one piece of trash then there wouldn't be so much on the ground. Well alrighty!! I have no idea where that came from.

A little further down the road he picked up an empty soda bottle. I told him that was good trash to pick up, he would get paid 5 cents for each bottle. That got him way more excited about trash. I didn't know I had created a monster... he found a second bottle and was on the hunt for more! He didn't find any others on the way home, but I'm sure he will be on the lookout again tomorrow. I hope this isn't considered child labor.
