Pol's Blog: Misperceptions

Packing: pack what you think you need then halve it.
Tying a parcel with ribbon: mark off what you think you need then double it

recycling and all that

I grew up in wartime England. Recycling was our life, saving electricity second nature, using up every bit of shampoo and toothpaste morally mandatory. Hmm come to think of it we (my sisters and I) rarely used toothpaste, it just wasn't around, and shampooed infrequently. I could write pages of shame about that but won't here.
I remain mindful of not abusing resources to this day. Having just showered I am very gratified to have used up every last drop of the litre of Sorbolene I use to moisten my drying skin. I could have tossed it out a month ago but I have been faithfully turning the container upside down and tapping out its contents.
What's that I hear? Get a life?
These little challenges ARE my life among many other things.
