There are greener versions of many of those things available, thankfully. <br /><br />By the way, I found this to be a really fun way to make your point. We give little thought to how we interact with things throughout our daily lives. Objects are just there, we reach for them mindlessly in most instances. <br /><br />This was an interesting, mindful story :-) Congratulations on the post of the week mention over at Hilary's blog.Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498585754859544614.post-6319778703383610682010-06-16T09:37:12.991-04:002010-06-16T09:37:12.991-04:00Well said.

The evidence of our dependence on petroleum products is everywhere and the tiny efforts I make (inconsistently) to reduce that dependence feel barely even symbolic. Certainly they make no difference at all, but I don't want to give in to that hopelessness. <br /><br />I like the softer background, Christopher. Much easier to read but still just as classy.
