Saint Anthony Villagers

Today I made pledge with distilled vinegar, water, olive oil, and lemon essential oil. I put it into a spray bottle and it worked way better than the disposable dusting wands I had bought years ago! 

I have old/unmendable clothes that I use for rags. Most of the time they can be washed and resused. Occasionally they are used with stain or other non-cleanable chemicals or products and disposed of. I have a few thick reusable paper towels for the kitchen but need to make more and create a convenient system to use them over paper towels. 

I believe the plastic on produce likely started as a health concern for consumers but in reality it made distribution and sales easier for producers. 

My wife and I are collecting plastic bags daily to recycle at our local Cub Foods market. We shop once week, on Thursday mornings. By the way, we will "take" the bags with us, rather than "bring" them. 

I am working on using cloth diapers for my newborn.
