Going Green?

One of the goals that we have for our family dinners, is that along with focussing on some great Christ centered topics, we would also try to model some behaviors that reflect our core values. So, we decided that we're going green - which also means - that we're washing dishes. Some would argue that running the dishwasher is not so green, and debate that what we waste in water and electricity equals what we waste in paper that we throw away. The point isn't which practice has the bigger impact on the environment, but rather what we model to our children.
The other part of what we are allowing kids to see and be involved in, is how we care for others as we serve and clear our tables for one another. What do you think? Weigh in with a comment!
