I have always prided myself on being a frugal and thoughtful consumer, concerned about the ecological and ethical impacts of the products I buy. I pay that extra $10 a month to support green energy, use CFLs where I can, have low flow shower heads, bricks in the toilet tanks, buy earth and animal friendly cleaning products or make my own, wear my clothes until they're dead, line dry most often, use my dish and pasta water to water landscaping, shower every other day, have no ac, rarely use my gas in wall heater, bike or take public transport almost all of the time, drink tap water, buy local and organic foods to supplement those I grow in my garden, have reusable shopping bags, a reusable coffee cup, a reusable water bottle, save lidded plastic food packaging to store left overs of future meals and compost 100% of my food scraps.

....so what's with all this waste?

Day 13: Saturday is Project Day

I'm getting all kinds of domestic up in here. I woke up about 8a and was struck with a wild hair to make chocolate.

Let me just say to all of you that have this idea yourselves one day: I had to wash each dish at least twice, if not three times to get all the butter and coco mess off. BUT, I found
a cool use for some of those plastic lids. Chocolate molds! Yeah, check it out.


Isn't recycling delicious?
