Police say they aren't from around here.

Ya think?

I'm a fairly conscientious recycler. I've weatherized my condo. I keep it as warm as my wife can stand it in the summer and as cold as my child can stand it in the winter. I even grocery shop with reusable tote bags. But this is where I draw the line. I won't use corn cobs to take care of that necessary function. I won't, I won't, I won't.

but would you pay a little extra for recycled paper products?

No.

Seventh Generation Double roll (avail. where Rachel said) is not expensive and plenty soft IMO, once you get used to not being ridiculous about it. I wouldn't go back to Charmin if it were on even terms of not trashing the environment. That stuff is so fluffy that it made a lot of bathroom dust--how good is that? Overkill and rather absurd.

Also I like Sunrise by Marcal Maxi Roll which is a pretty good value at Earth Fare, believe it or not, (hope they do open a store in Bearden and sooner than later). Also Lowes sells Sunrise (believe it or not too) cheaply but in a smaller roll size. Marcal is not as soft as Seventh Gen., but good enough to get the job done just as well.

I accidently picked up extra strong once and heard about it until the last roll was gone.

I too used to think that TP was something you just couldn't scrimp on. I got over it.

But more seriously, chaining yourself to doors over nose blow paper and butt wipers is just a tad silly. Isn't it? Just a little?

For most people, obviously it is. It depends, though, on how different people react to the sanctity of brand loyalty once they learn what is sacrificed for their pampered noses and asses. To use a slightly different example, don't you think it's a tad silly that we would use styrofoam for a single use plate or cup, then leave the waste as worthless garbage that won't decompose for 10's or 100's of years? Or isn't it silly to burn the sheer amount of fossil energy we do to move our 200 lb. frames around in expensive 2-3 ton metal boxes? Future generations are going to wonder what the hell we were thinking.

I'm going to start a crusade against plastic packaging of all kinds. Wonder how much petroleum we use for that just to use it one time and throw it away? I'm especially pissed off at the hard plastic bubble security packaging that to open requires power tools and usually personal injury so you can get to the product.

Argh! Clamshell packaging!

And what's with every children's toy being wired in tighter than a marine firebase during Tet?

I have some of the big plastic tote boxes that I use for my camping gear. The other day I put one in the truck when I went grocery shopping.

I asked the lady at checkout to just put my checked items into another cart without bags and, when I got to the truck, I transferred all the goodies from the cart to the tote box.

It was more trouble to bring it all into the house but I'm thinking of getting a Radio Flyer (do such things still exist?) to cart it from truck to kitchen.

The other drawback is, how many plastic bags did it take to make the tote box? Of course if you already have one . . .

But Wait!

I can put casters and a pull-rope on the tote box and I won't need the wagon.

I just looked them up on Google and I want one.

You guys with children have more than one advantage over me. For one thing you have an excuse to play with a wagon in the park.

I could take my Radio Flyer over to Victor Ashe and let Gino pull me around the track - until he saw a squirrel and decided to go "off-roading."

We've thought one would be nice to cart our older dog around the 'hood on hot days or when her arthritis gets worse.

The dreaded clamshells. Is it a cost of fighting shoplifting? Of course they're also for lowest cost and ease of packaging on their end.

I wonder how many timber related products these GREENPEACE wanks have in their own homes Its interesting just how hypotcrtitcal these enviromentalists wackos are

They simply protests to get the attention from the liberal left-wing news media their nothing but a whole bunch of toublemakers if their wernt lying about the rainforests now its the forests in CANADA their nothing but idiots and green nut cases

I just wonder what their banners are made of looks to me like plastic to me and thats derived from petrolium and no doupt they use fuel in their ships they sail around the world in while being such a bunch of GREENPESTS
