  3. Amazing. I love Mark Bittman - and have read a bunch of his books. I’ve been cooking for the past 6 years. Its only been in the past 2 or so that it has really started making sense to me in a more holistic way. My realizations have lead me to a predominantly meatless diet, treating animal proteins, including dairy, more as the luxury that they are (and should be) rather than the center piece of every single meal. So, thank you for doing your duty by finding and posting this (and thanks to Sam for passing it on to me). I’ll do what I can to continue spreading more sustainable ideas and steering things back to where they should be.

  5. I loved this video. Thanks for breaking your norm on A/V Friday to share it.

    I passed along the video, and your blog, to my friend Sarandi (who commented above) and we’ve had many an informative talk about such subjects.

    I’d also like to thank you for turning me onto TED. I can’t wait to fully explore what the place has to offer.

Maybe it was a grandma or great aunt who lived through the Depression and learned to save anything that was usable, maybe it was just someone who was thrifty and knew how to pinch pennies. What ever the reason behind it, saving wrapping paper makes good green sense.
