Today's Loser: Bret (packaging for a aquarium filter, the window from a pasta box, the weird plastic they now put at the tops of bunches of bananas
Next Research Topic: Where can we recycle aluminum foil?
New rule: Trash making purchases will be photographed when used (e.g. lids to Rxs will be depicted as trash when they are going to be thrown away)
After being locked outside of the house with the WHOLE family (Bret, Sapna, A, rottweiler and pit bull) for a little under 2 hours, I have decided to make a swap. I will buy the reusable tampons and pads. In exchange, I reserve the right to bag and dispose of dog poop when we are not at home. The vet visit got me thinking...the walk confirmed my preferences. I just can't walk around with a bucket of poop for however long to bring it home to the compost pile. So, I will adjust the rules. Dog bathroom trash is off limits; female bathroom trash is counted (but not to be pictured).Right now all that is going down the drain other than human waste is toilet paper. I guess occasionally a little food slips down the garbage disposal when we wash dishes. Oh! and soap and shampoo and stuff. We are doing our best to buy more eco-friendly soaps and scrape off as much food as possible. Bret even looked into reusable toilet paper. But that will increase laundry so much, that it is not going to be more environmental.
What a poopy dilemma.

I must say - reusable toilet paper sounds disgusting and just would not be worth it to me. :( I applaud what y'all are doing!
