Unfortunately, because we had long hair and looked like freaks, no one took us seriously. Literally everything that's being touted around as eco-this, environally-friendly that, was all stuff we seriously banged on about 30+ years ago. We were still too late even then, I reckon.

Or even clean water for that matter. Don't get me wrong, if you work hard and earn your money you have every right to have a chip bowl, I wouldn't begrudge anyone that right, but does it have to be a $240 one? As for the socially responsible shopping bags, I bought one myself (for $1) at the grocery store, but I really think I could knit and felt one that was far superior to the one that I bought. Of course that would cost more than $1, though.
