However, I have been going back to the no 'poo a couple times a week, so I am not using as much commercial shampoo again. <br /><br />As for using plates instead of paper - there are just two of us as well. I do a load of dishes every 2-3 days in the dishwasher. Good point about the water and soap.

We definitely feel more "connected" to one another when the TV and laptops are off and we are doing even simple daily tasks like feeding the chickens, exercising a very active puppy and taking care of the new kittens.

We're live on a ridge top and have to drive our trash to a central pickup location which is too cumbersome. Easier to build brackets in the garage and drive to the center that takes everything, including phone books and magazines, once a month or two. I don't know about the plates vs paper when there is only 2 at home. Our expense would be electric for both hot water and the water out of the well plus soap- no dishwasher. For sandwiches or waffles (I don't use syrup) I use paper and then burn it or I suppose I could put those in the garden to break down. Now for things like roast with gravy, etc. I use dishes. Where do you get that bulk shampoo in boxes?Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607280648455026881.post-20616036462302878542012-10-25T10:57:20.743-04:002012-10-25T10:57:20.743-04:00I've been making changes in my life, working m...I've been making changes in my life, working more towards a simpler life. We avoid most disposable products {using cloth napkins, wipes for our baby, diapers, feminine products, etc.}, recycle as well as question our consumption. <br /><br />My most recent attempt towards simple living is managing media consumption. I'm putting limits on myself and my children. I'm finding we're using media/technology more efficiently and have much more time to enjoy each other. I have allotted myself 2 hours per day which so far has been too much time, I finish what I need to do online and then proceed with life!
