I don't think of myself as a major tree hugger, but I try my best to recycle and conserve. I certainly could do a lot more for the environment, but I do like to minimize the waste in my household. I wanted to say how appalled I was when I received some Take and Toss sippy cups and spoons as a gift. Have you seen these? Oh how convenient to allow your child to use a plastic sippy cup once and then toss it out. What? Atleast they could've made it out of a coated paper product (like milk cartons are made of). I'm also disgusted by those single use Kleenex towels. The commercial makes us believe that we're going to catch a terrible disease using a hand towel. Aren't your hands clean when you dry them on the hand towel? Are you not laundering the hand towel regularly?
Ok, so now I do sound like a tree hugger. I just hate how our attitude in America is that everything is disposable. Will it kill us to wash a cup or use a towel? No! And we'll keep our planet a much nicer looking place!
