Like many of you, I have made changes in my lifestyle to help protect and preserve the environment. I bought a handful of cloth shopping bags a while back and have faithfully used them since. I walk to work when the weather (and time) allows. I recyle anything that will be picked up by the city. All the light bulbs in my house are the low energy, long lasting kind. I have attempted to reduce, reuse, and recylce as much as possible. However, there are some changes I will not be making. I am glad there are people who are willing to trade convenience for something more responsible. But I draw the line at giving up toilet paper. I am not willing to exchange toilet paper I can flush for "family wipes" nor am I going to trade traditional (disposable) feminine hygiene products for cloth ones.
What changes have you made to become more environmentally friendly? Where do you draw the line?

Where I'm NOT going green

I read a while ago about family wipes and I was so grossed out. Nope, I could never do that. I'd volunteer to move to Mars after we exhaust the resources on Earth before I would do that load of laundry.
ReplyDeleteI am quite the couponer these days and rarely pay for TP. Here is how to do it. Cotonelle has .50 coupons in the paper and online frequently. I usually collect them all and when I have 3 or 4 I go to Kroger and buy the 4 pack single rolls for .99. They double my .50 coupons and the TP ends up free. Last time I got 5 packs for .12. Yes, it's work out of my usual routine but it's helped me out.
Thanks for the tip about TP. I'll have to look into that!
ReplyDeleteAnd I would move to Mars with you, but do you think there would be any TP there to begin with?
