People are naturally curious. I have gotten a far better response by answering questions they bring up than saying, &quot;Well you know...&quot;<br /><br />Green Bean - That&#39;s the way it works. One person inspires another and then that person inspires another and so on down the line. Beth was my inspiration - taking her own containers to the butcher. Hopefully by someone seeing me use my wrap-n-mat in public it will plant the seed in their head.<br /><br />Truffula Mama - Do you ever find yourself bringing trash home because you couldn&#39;t find a recycle bin? Yea, I&#39;m right there with you.<br /><br />Beth - You&#39;re awesome!<br /><br />Jennifer - The &quot;ta da&quot; moments are what make life fun aren&#39;t they? &quot;Ta da&quot; is usually followed by a &quot;Doh!&quot;, as in why didn&#39;t I think of that sooner?<br /><br />Kale - I know, I am loving my wrap-n-mat! Now that I see how they are constructed I think a little DIY is in order.<br /><br />Jess - How right you are, thrift store flatware would be a great tool to have in your eco-toolbox. I still need to add a glass straw to mine.greeen sheeephttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05207338457089423790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-28157024074407019622009-07-08T11:08:15.872-07:002009-07-08T11:08:15.872-07:00Hilarious, as usual! Need to tinker with my own eco-toolbox myself (to-go ware or thrift store flatware has to make it into my kit).JessTrevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11000531822628182708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-34462855273502714762009-07-07T23:09:35.093-07:002009-07-07T23:09:35.093-07:00The wrap mat is awesome!

Get serious and add Bathroom Bidet Sprayers to all your bathrooms. Available at www.bathroomsprayers.com with these you won&#39;t even need toilet paper any more, just a towel to dry off! It&#39;s cheap and can be installed without a plumber; and runs off the same water line to your toilet. You&#39;ll probably pay for it in a few months of toilet paper savings. And after using one of these you won&#39;t know how you lasted all those years with wadded up handfuls of toilet paper. Now we&#39;re talking green and helping the environment without any pain. As for water use a drought is always a concern and must be dealt with prudently but please remember that in the big picture the industrial water users always far exceed the water use of household users and in the case of toilet paper manufacture it is huge. The pollution and significant power use from that manufacturing process also contributes to global warming so switching to a hand bidet sprayer and lowering your toilet paper use is very green in multiple ways.Jeff9http://www.blogger.com/profile/16394036865084463286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-57402135067637228542009-07-07T10:02:23.361-07:002009-07-07T10:02:23.361-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jeff9http://www.blogger.com/profile/16394036865084463286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-7037711521972862042009-07-06T23:57:04.591-07:002009-07-06T23:57:04.591-07:00Awesome!Fake Plastic Fishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11070617520887713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-56062575610919849352009-07-06T20:25:07.064-07:002009-07-06T20:25:07.064-07:00Eco-toolbox -- I love it! <br /><br />It&#39;s so freeing not to have to seek out a trash can, or to be concerned that you have a recyclable item dangling from your hand with nary a blue bin in sight.Truffula Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07206163734611708953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-71249229718150878192009-07-06T09:50:41.833-07:002009-07-06T09:50:41.833-07:00&quot;Sometimes I swear I live in my own personal movie.&quot; LOL!<br /><br />You are an inspiration to me! I&#39;m great about bringing my own water bottle/bag and sometimes my own flatware. I always intend to bring my own to-go containers, etc and I always forget!

I was shy about things at first too and now I love whipping out my napkin, telling the people at the food counter I don&#39;t need a fork or cup because I brought my own, and having my little tupperware container ready when it&#39;s time to pack up the leftovers. <br /><br />The nice thing about living an environmental lifestyle is you don&#39;t have to shove it down anyone&#39;s throats. You just live the life and people notice.Heather @ SGFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13424022504830645523noreply@blogger.com
