Wood burning smell in the air in balmoral/chancery area

I cannot do without plastic bags. How do you throw your rubbish without using rubbish bag?


I can't. But I still have far more plastic bags than I need. :oops:

Another one that is hard - cutting down on tissue paper. I remember how we used to use handkerchiefs instead of disposable tissue paper. Maybe it is time to revive that. Still need tissue paper for runny noses though...

Great idea.
I have been thinking of that too. But it also has another selfish motive. I feel the chemical in tissue papers are not a good idea. Soft cotton hankerchiefs is a better deal. Of course an added headache for maintenance.

This is hard. More than half my family members have allergic rhinitis, a lot of ah-choos and sniffles, we sure need lots of tissue. It's too unhygenic to use a hanky.

Seriously, this one for hygiene purpose, I will not adopt.

Handkerchief needs to be washed and ironed. Would the water and electricity used add to pollution?

I guess I am being silly and paranoid, as my DH points out.
But when one is not down with cold, hankerchiefs used with tissues, should work , no?

Actually too lazy to make the move, but this idea is there at the back of my mind....
