[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 732435, member: 18516"] What disposable items/things do you refuse to buy? [COLOR=#b300b3]Bottled water - other than the 5 gal jugs we fill for our drinking water. We have well water and it's not tasty at all. Swiffer products - I use good ole worn out rags for dusting and cleaning. [/COLOR] Is there an exception to the rule? [COLOR=#b300b3]I have a nice stainless drinking bottle that I take with me but if I run out of water I will buy a bottle but I make sure the bottle goes into a recycle bin. [/COLOR] Is there an exception to the rule when it comes to special or certain occasions? [COLOR=#b300b3]I will use paper plates when we host cards or have BBQ. I also will use plastic forks, spoons, knives and cups but will wash them if they are thrown into the sink. The main reason I use plastic ware instead of regular silverware is we had a large party and I used nice paper plates and real silverware, well some of my silverware was thrown in the trash![/COLOR] If you do occasionally give-in and buy something disposable, do you suffer guilt? [COLOR=#b300b3]Not really. I do try and watch my carbon footprint.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#b300b3]Our trash company offers recycling and we are very good about it. There is usually more in the recycle bin than in our trash.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#b300b3]This thread has however got me thinking about what more can I do. I used to always use cloth napkins, not sure why I stopped but I will go back to using them. Good thread Old-Hand.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
