3 Things I will NOT be Doing to Save the Environment

1. I will not be composting my pooh or reusing my toilet paper. If Ed Begley Jr gets to wipe his sweet little fanny with fresh paper everyday- then, damn it – so can I. (Great interview, Crunchy.)

2. I will not be eating entirely locally. Sorry- French people make really good cheese and wine. Too good. Suspiciously good. And until an avocado tree grows in Brooklyn, I will be buying mine from Mexico. (Seriously- I do think knowing food and culture are extremely important- not to be entirely discarded in the name of local eating. More of that when I am in a serious rant mood.)

3. I will not be giving my kids ONLY eco-toys. Legos are the coolest things ever made. And unless you have spent hours a day on the floor trying to play with 2 & 4 year old boys – you have no idea what a gift they are. There are only so many times I can drive Thomas around the friken track. Of course Mama didn’t kick Thomas under the heater. Why on earth would she do that? Besides- I can’t see Legos glass line as their best seller.

    Oh Needle…I can tell I’m going to like you already…

    Legos–Awesome toys, but they hurt like heck when you step on them without shoes on…

    Toilet Paper–Buy the TP with recycled paper content…then you can still feel like you’re “doing your part”

    As far as being a strict locavore goes…I am working on finding the balance…including local foods, but not exclusively. I don’t think there is any local chocolate source, so that just won’t do…I need my chocolate!
