Do you really need it? In many cases, we buy more, use more, travel more, etc. than we need to and we could do it more efficicently and/or get by on less. I am not trying to sound radical and I live a nice life (not depriving myself), but I've talked myself out of trips, purchases, etc. This is difficult in a culture of consumerism.....but one truly green thing is to just minimize purchasing in addition to consumption. Everything we touch / buy / wear / etc. has taken energy to produce, ship, etc. As for the vaginal cup -- not a chance!! LOL ;) The one way that I’ve been thinking of to be “green” is to simply minimize buying/consumption of everything to the extent possible. Do you really need it?

Paper plates never work well anyway! Also plan to buy some melamine glasses. Good suggestion! I used regular diapers for my kids. No dryer back then, so I either hung outside or in the basement. I'm lucky to live in a town that only has recycling refuse. It means a once a week stop at about a dozen areas at the center, but I feel better about it. .-= Maribeth´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.dackelprincess.com/?p=2142" rel="nofollow">Planting Time</a> =-.
