This covers all the bases = saves you money, helps the environment, helps your health, makes you feel better, it’s so easy to do and it costs less than $50.00; Save money and the Earth and be clean at the same time! Add Bathroom Bidet Sprayers to all your bathrooms. I think Dr. Oz on Oprah said it best: “if you had pee or poop on your hand, you wouldn’t wipe it off with paper, would you? You’d wash it off” Available at http://www.bathroomsprayers.com with these you won’t even need toilet paper any more, just a towel to dry off! Don’t worry, you can still leave some out for guests and can even make it the soft stuff without feeling guilty. It’s cheap and can be installed without a plumber; and runs off the same water line to your toilet. You’ll probably pay for it in a few months of toilet paper savings. As for water use a drought is always a concern and must be dealt with prudently but please remember that in the big picture the industrial water users always far exceed the water use of household users and in the case of toilet paper manufacture it is huge. The pollution and significant power use from that manufacturing process also contributes to global warming so switching to a hand bidet sprayer and lowering your toilet paper use is very green in multiple ways.

Good list. I disagree with a couple of things for personal reasons, but overall, good list. I really like the idea of joining a co-op, but I’d need a second freezer to store large meat orders.

I just wanted to say, please don’t feed your dogs leftovers. I’m a foster parent for Pughearts and a volunteer for the Houston SPCA. Most cases of joint problems and internal problems are caused by feeding the dogs human food…they get fat and hurt their backs and legs or develop heart problems. It shortens their life and increases your vet costs.

Some human food is great for the dogs, but most of our cooked meals are not good for our pets. My dogs really like the white part of Romaine Lettuce and carrot peels…you can find other healthy ideas online. Thanks!
