I love how hypocritical people are when they stress the importance of recycling and minimizing waste, and being "green", when just about every other week there is a new disposal product introduced on the market to make our lives more convenient. We have Clorox wipes, swiffer dusters, toilet bowl scrubbers, and disposable mops - all things you throw away! Prunes are now individually packaged. Everything is individually packaged, thus creating more trash. what happened to the good old fashioned mop and broom, and Scotch sponges. Or Chip Clips to use on regular sized bags of snacks? I think these things work just fine. I'm tired of hearing people talk about being "green" when they're really just choosing a couple of the easy things to be "green" about, like compact fluorescents (which are actually hazardous to the environment if broken) and low VOC paint. Good for you, now what about the rest of it all?
