Reply #12: "Especially after Live Earth,"

[Jane Austin]

Me too.

I always find the light over the kitchen sink on, even though we have a skylight in there and it's generally pretty bright.

Since Live Earth I've bought unbleached toilet paper, a few more flourescent bulbs and Ecover dishwasher tablets, which seem to do a great job.

Oh, and I found some "paper" plates and bowls that are made out of sugar cane starch.

And last week, I bought some Earth-friendly liquid clothes-washing detergent at Costco.

I didn't even think twice, because I know if Costco sells it, they've already determined it's a good product, and the price was comparable to their other brands.

So far so good on getting clothes clean.

I discovered that the 365 grape juice bottles (16 oz?) at Whole Foods are sturdy and do fine in the dishwasher, so I've started making herb tea by the gallon and just fill and wash and refill those bottles for my portable drinks.
