Being eco-friendly when you are eco-stupid

For my part, I’m good at admitting when I’m wrong or ill-informed and I’ll be the first to say that I am not a greenie. I’m not. I recycle when I remember, I turn down plastic and paper bags when they aren’t necessary. I have my steel bottles for water, when my water doesn’t taste like leaves. However, it’s not an exaggeration when I say that my mind is nowhere close to being eco-friendly.

Before you tear me to pieces, which sounds reasonable enough, I’m sure, try to keep in mind that last semester (Spring 2009), I worked two part time jobs, that both require massive amounts of at-home work as well, and did several hours in a doctoral program. Oh yeah, and I did the wife and mom thing, too. I’m not trying to be eco-unfriendly and I would hate for Captain Planet to show me the errors of my way. Many days, I’m too tired to know where to put the toilet paper, let alone where to put he empty water bottles.

So, when I find something that makes being eco-friendly easy, convenient and gives me pizza, I say, KUDOS to you, inventor. You have effectively saved me money on those oft-unavailable when needed paper plates. Take a look.

Well? What do you think?

    Yowzer!! This could turn me totally eco!! Of course I would then go back to my slovenly ways.

    At least they are appealing to our baser natures, right?

    I place very little value on things that are self-consciously ‘green.’

    I place high value on convenience. And being able to store half a pizza in half the size of the box, is something I’d like to be able to do.

    If you are a fan of Scrubs, I will give you a Todd five for that statement. Otherwise, I’ll just offer you a high five.

  5. Neil_Stevens says:

    Yeah, not familiar with scrubs, but I’m glad I we agree. :-)

    That’s an awesome video, but now I’m hungry for pizza :D

  7. Jillian says:

    @Reader We’re having it for dinner tonight. :)

  8. What if you don’t take 4 slices out of the box at once? Keeping the lid closed keeps the rest of the pizza warm. But without the lid, there’s no way to do that.

    That’s true. No one said it was infallible.
