Don’t get me started. I am an ardent environmentalist and I see it every day all day. Think of it this way – whatever cannot be recycled or composted goes into a landfill for thousands of year and we are running out of space, not to mention all the toxic chemicals that are leaching into the soil/earth.

Waste…Getting so caught up the hustle of everyday life that you miss the beautiful moments. I agree with the overpackaging, especially those horrible huge plastic shells they seal everything in at Costco. Why do we need a gift card packaged in a plastic container larger that my one year old? It’s maddenning. I also hate all the time I have to give away to everyday life tasks such as paying bills, wish everything was direct withdrawl and I could forget about it.

Somewhat along the lines of Carrie – not using the things that you DO have. Use your nice crystal, silver, dinnerware and linen napkins for yourself, not just your company.

Paying for phone service that is commandeered by telemarketers. If I want something or need services, I contact a business or supplier. They don’t need to contact me first!

Waste of resources makes me really concerned, especially if we had more gratitude for something then we may consider its usefulness before discarding. or even having it in the first place. Waste is THE environmental hazard. Helen

I define ‘waste’ as time spent worrying. That time could be spent doing, thinking, speaking, or listening.

buying food and watching it rot in the fridge; leaving half of a meal on a plate. so sad when you think of the millions of people who did not even get an ounce of grain today.
