Day 2

Well, it's actually Day 3 now, but I had class last night and could not look at a computer screen one more minute.
So, here's the latest.
1) Yesterday I had an empty zip-topped foil crouton bag that I rinsed out and planned to use. But the little track doesn't hold. I had forgotten that I'd had to clip the bag. The track looks like it's lined up correctly, maybe the track isn't deep enough. There's a patent name for the track on there, and the crouton company contact info on there, so I'll give them a call and let them know. I am sure they will have operators standing by.
2) Next item, organic matter. My niece and her fiance in Northern California have already set an excellent example for me. They grow some of thier own produce and put all organic scraps into containers on their kitchen counter, instead of the trash or disposal, for composting. I can do that, but I have three big dogs that would LOVE to have a garbage pile in the back yard to root around in! There must be some way to rig up something so they can't get into it. Project for the weekend.
3) Third item, this will be easy. The coffee filters. Unbleached or not, they gotta go. On the shopping list is a metal coffe filter that can be washed out and reused. I don't know why I didn't do that before.
Since we're talking threes, I have three rules for this project. 1) No taking stuff to work to throw out. 2) No using the toilet for supplemental trash disposal. 3) Donating stuff to the thrift store doesn't count. When I get rid of things like say, old clothes, they have to go somewhere that will actually reuse the material somehow. Whether it's broken down for re-manufacturing or remade into another garment. I sense research and creative projects there. Fun!!
Happy Friday!
