Very very nice post.
The disposal items like: jute bags, cotton bags, shopping bags etc. are more acceptable in comparison to the plastic items. :)

Thanks for Sharing.

This reminds me of when I got my first place. I was living off of plastic utensils for months, until one day I got a stainless steel flatware set. That was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

If folks don’t want to/can’t shell out the money for hankerchiefs, you can cut up an old bedsheet or pillowcase. I’ve done that & they are still super soft & much better than tissues. :)

Great post!
I’ve never seen stainless steel lunchboxes or water bottles before, but they look very nice – as well as environmentally friendly!
Also, congrats on investing in the hankies, that is something I could never do, but then again I don’t get sick all that often…
I’ve also jumped into the Green Bag movement (as it’s known here in Australia), and have green bags for all my shopping, and even insulated ones for my meat! I also have a separate cloth bag that I put the mail into each morning. Any plastic bags I do get I keep them aside and reuse them.
Napkins are out there! My mum has some cloth ones that we use every Christmas – she’s had them for as long as I can remember!
