  1. You’ve got me seriously considering trying the kitty litter recipe. I just need to find a shredder somewhere.

  2. It is good stuff, if I do say so myself. I keep looking for a commercial product that’s healthy and works as well, and can’t find one.

    Bringing stacks of newspaper to shred at work would probably look bad, huh?

    The shredder I have was cheap. It’s small — nothing fancy. I’d love a big bad commercial one someday, but this one gets the job done.

  3. That kitty litter is really making the rounds, huh?

    I’ll believe the pine tree underwear when I see it.

  4. I think that no matter what I write about from now on, I will always be that lady who makes her own kitty litter. :)

Tip of the Day

Bring Your Own Utensils

I carry a titanium backpacking spork around in my purse.  I know that sounds kind of weird, but it saves me from using disposable utensils when I eat out, and it’s so light, I never even notice that I’m carrying it.

Before the Industrail Revolution it was common for guests to be expected to bring their own utensils with them when invited to dine, because utensils were expensive, labor intensive items, and most people didn’t own extra sets.  Now, when it’s possible to buy a set of 1,000 plastic utensils for under $20, people don’t even think about bringing their own.

But think of the plastic waste that can be saved by slipping a fork from home in your purse on the way out the door.  You don’t need anything fancy.  Grab one from your kitchen drawer, or if you’re worried about loosing a piece of a set, pick up a few spare utensils the next time you hit a discount store, thrift shop, or yard sale.  It’s simple a simple way to cut down waste, and it’s always nicer to eat with real utensils anyway.
