going more and more ‘crunchy granola’.
I use reusable bags for all my shopping. I try to buy organic and free range and fair trade products. I am considering buying a few of these.
I am not really doing it because I think I can save the planet. I don’t really think the planet needs saving. Or that we can save it. I think the planet has been around for 100000000000000s of years and will be just fine on its own.
I do it because I prefer it. I’d rather have a shopping bag that I can sling over my shoulder rather than one that I have to carry in my hands. I prefer the taste of organic and free range. I want to help my fellow man by making sure they get a fair price for their work. And like the idea that these fold out to a placemat, since I often eat at my desk.
So I may appear ‘crunchy granola’ but I guess I am really not.
In other news, shoulder still oozing pus. B pointed out last night, on IM, that I am deriving some bit of pleasure from telling people about my pussy shoulder. She’s right. Its fun grossing people out!
As another eater-at-the-desk those placemat things look nifty
I know exactly what you mean, Tee. I try to be more environmentally friendly because I’ve found that it’s cheaper than buying reusable stuff. I’m motivated more by my wallet than a need to save the earth – although that’s a fantastic perk!
