Tree Hugging Family News & Some Cool Links
January 20, 2009 by Jennifer
In case you caught that post where I mentioned an upcoming giveaway, I have good news and bad.
First of all, the bad news: due to technical issues (behind the blog), there’s not going to be a giveaway this month as I said.
The good news: Barring tech issues that just keep on going (doubtful), there will be two giveaways to kick off the month of February here. I’ve got two different and interesting prizes lined up for a total of four readers, so stay tuned.
Mainly, I just wanted to give you a heads up, but not to waste a post, I thought I’d share three cool links too.
Yesterday, we looked at how to reuse toilet paper tubes, and so I thought I should mention that another way to green your toilet paper use is to put the roll on the toilet paper holder correctly. According to TreeHugger, there IS a right way and a wrong way (someone actually did a study about it).
Junk Creation has a clever Prescription Bottle Reuse idea – it’s a sort of ah ha moment.
Mother Earth’s Garden has a homemade recipe for Horehound Drops. You could easily make these completely organic and natural. Plus, there’s no packaging like typical throat drops, so this is a very green remedy choice.
OK, so I click thru from Twitter to check out these cool links you mentioned, and I’m reading down & there’s a link to MEG:-) Thanks for the mention, and the link love. And for calling me cool (sorta, kinda, indirectly, well I’m counting it since I don’t get called cool that often).
Well, I know cool, and you are. Trust me. Ok, maybe I don’t have a degree in cool, but for the sake of my own vanity, I’m sticking with the fact that I’m allowed to make random cool calls and everyone must agree.
Well, cool. My college roommate didn’t nag me for nothing. I was putting the TP on under before she corrected me!
Thanks for the Junk Creation link!
That’s too funny about your college roommate – are you going to call her up now?! Also, they don’t say what happens when you totally don’t hang the role. Like me sometimes because I’m a little lazy about it. That’s prob the worst.
if you don’t hang it
A) gets wet from sink water
B) the cat knocks it down
c. The dog grabs a hold of the end, and starts running, and you have toilet paper all over the house. Then the other dog starts ripping it to shreds, just for fun.
D) You love on sea monkeys and nada. No toilet paper issues at all. Hence my steadfast view that sea monkeys make the best pets.
