Today’s simple tip is one of my favorite quotes (I can’t remember who said it):
Use it up, wear it out,
Make it do, or do without.

oooo, i really like that quote.
i actually have a photo from that series that i will post for you tomorrow–it’s the number of soda cans all lined up. pretty freaky. esp. considering i drank all of them.
national geographic does some pretty cool stuff.
That’s a great quote! Admittedly, it’s easier said than done. Have you seen “The Story of Stuff” video?
Watch it at:

Very interesting take of where “stuff” comes from.
I was going to tell you about the story of stuff too! It’s so alarming! But changes are amist, I can feel it!
I am such a consumer! YIKES. Maybe I will start getting my fountain drink in a refill cup. It kindof freaks me out… thanks for all the little wake-up calls this week.
That is amazing isn’t it! Tons and tons of stuff, of which I have contributed my fair share…
It’s a wonder there is room for us!
Our boiler broke this week & we have been without hot water and heat (we have radiant heat) – it’s been a little rough. But, what makes me sick is the amount of hot water that gushed from the tank before we found that we had a problem. Water that had to be heated and was never used – sickening and expensive. On the up side, we are replacing that old inefficient tank with a more efficient one (better for the earth and our monthly bill).
