Shibaguyz
charlabob – TOTALLY agree with you about the one thing at a time. If we had tried to do everything all at once we would never have succeeded. I’m all for doing one thing until you get it down well then move on to another. It sort of seems to avalanche at some point kind of naturally eventually.
Good point everyone about the canvas bags. We use them at the farmers market and now make ourselves RUN back out to the trunk of the car if we are shopping anyplace else and forget to bring in our own bags. We’re getting better at that one…
Freecycle was just recently recommended to us so we tried posting on there for canning jars and yarn… wanted, not offered. Nothing yet but we’ll see.
The whole Freecycle concept is very cool. I think we (the Shibaguyz) forget most often about the amount of waste we put out. Both post-consumer and general retail consumption. Something like Freecycle or Craigslist is a great option for getting rid of all of the “extra” we have, unnecessarily, accumulated over the years. Thanks for that reminder.
Also, we highly recommend, if you are an iTunes user, to search for Michael Pollan & Barbara Kingsolver on there. Of course, you can purchase their books but there are quite a few free programs available for download with them talking on the subject of ethical eating and sustainable agriculture.
