If you haven't yet joined Crunchy Domestic Goddess's Ditch the Disposables Challenge, you still have time! Last year there were almost 150 participants and Amy is shooting for 200 this year.The goal of the challenge is to get participants to try the reusable version of the disposable products they know and love. For example, you could use cloth napkins instead of paper napkins, wash cloths instead of paper towels, or Klean Kanteen bottles instead of disposable plastic water bottles. (See how I dissed that other company there?) If you've done those things already, you can move on to something more challenging like using cloth wipes instead of toilet paper. I'm not quite there yet, but we are attempting to kick the ziploc baggie habit (yet again).
Go sign up and help Amy hit her goal of 200 participants and help the planet in the meantime!

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 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 remember the water use of industrial users far exceeds 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.
