my arch nemesis: waste.

but of course i still create a lot of it. i want to see the documentary film No Impact Man. the No Impact project was about a lot more than creating waste. A family went about the project of living with no net environmental impact for a year. im really curious about the details. mostly i am interested because it can be so hard to know what the right thing to do it - sure sometimes it is obvious but, as no impact man himself says:



"Everything, if you listen to conventional wisdom, is as bad as everything else. The spin merchants have got us believing that to try to make any difference is futile. You might as well give up. Throw away another plastic coffee cup. Don’t bother with the hybrid car. Go on, guzzle."



i have found this sentiment to be really ubiquitous regarding cloth diapers.

part of the plan of this project was apparently to do real work in figuring out these conundrums. so im curious. i would like to read the book, but also the documentary comes out today i think - filmed as low impact as possible.



p.s one lower your impact thing i like - http://www.snacktaxi.com/

i pack a lunch, one day ill be packing z's lunch. i have ziplock bags that have been washed and reused to infinity, but now im switching over to these because they are great.
