Latest Green Idea

I spent the weekend in Lubbock, and yes it was as aweful as it sounds. Anyway, while in the shower, I came to a startling revelation as to what the next thing I should do to green up the hacienda will be *drum roll please*: no more loofa and no more liquid body wash!
I think that those plastic sponge things are a very easy thing to give up, and that's one less plastic thing in my house. Towels can be used forever, I still have towels that I bought when I moved to the dorms my freshman year, and I have had no trouble with them.
As far as the soap, bar soap comes packaged in a variety of ways, including paper. By getting rid of the plastic bottle that the liquid comes in, I am throwing away yet again one less plastic item. And for some assanine reason the grocery rarely carries a larger soap you can use to refill the smaller one. However,even if they did though, unless it came in cardboard, it would make no sense, and cardboard that is treated to resist oils, like pizza boxes, are not recyclable, which REALLY defeats the purpose.
So, that's ma plan. I'm out of soap, so at the store tonight I will be picking up my first bar of soap since high school. I hope it doesn't suck :(.
