Buy one less thing

I am assuming that Seattle, like Berkeley, is a hotbed of green ideas. So it’s no surprise that Lynn at Family Style Love says “I think that I have become borderline obsessed with “greening” my life.” She makes the most excellent point that all the magazine articles that are selling us greener versions of products we already own are really suggesting that we buy more stuff, which is really the big problem here, isn’t it? The stuff? The stuff that is taking over the planet?

Reuse, baby!

And that, my friends, is why my husband and I drive old cars rather than hybrids.

So, let’s take a look at how Lynn avoided buying some plastic-y bibs. Instead she bought some snaps. And used some dishtowels. And made a functional, washable bib for the ever-adorable Harris.
