Dispense with Disposables
This blog post, "Dispense with Disposables," has some great ideas on how to replace disposable products with reusable ones. I already have implemented some of her suggestions--cloth diapering being the most predominant one for me--but I could easily do several others without too much hassle. I really should sew myself a few canvas grocery bags. I hate coming home with piles of plastic bags.

That is a very interesting post. I will have to read more carefully when I have the time. She brings up some very do-able things. Thanks for pointing that out, Rixa.
ReplyDeleteFor grocery bags, you could also check on ebay. Although, I just remembered that you're a great sewer. But one time I found 10 great canvas bags for like $4 on ebay. (It was several years ago, so I don't remember the exact price, but it was cheaper than material.) Anyway good for you. And your baby's bum will appreciate the cloth diapers as well, my boys sure did.
ReplyDeleteI know you can sew Rixa...but for any other readers, we have these great bags from reuseablebags.com - here's the link (no idea how to really link it here): http://www.reusablebags.com/store/acme-bags-earthtote%E2%84%A2-heavy-duty-reusable-shopping-p-10.html
ReplyDeleteI found ours on ebay...but I swear, they're worth their money!

ReplyDeleteGrrr...that cut off the link. If you're interested, go to reuseablebags.com, then under shopping bags - heavy duty - it's the ACME earthtote (brown ones). We LOVE ours :)
ReplyDelete...and while I'm over-posting, why on earth did I never think to use cloth wipes for myself (for pee anyway)?? I have a gazillion, and have cloth diapered the kids all along. Amazing how sometimes it just takes a little nudge! We already do almost all the other things, but great post :)
