Yes...it is one of those challenges that is hopefully so overwhelming even in thought...it kinda gives you the idea of the enormity of the problem without actually having to do the work and math.

I shudder to even THINK about this one! First off, it would force me to hop on a scale, which I avoid at all possible costs. Secondly... let's not forget that I have a sewing room.... with approximately 50 BOLTS of fabric. That right there's gotta weigh, what... at LEAST 250 pounds. BUT, I give myself bonus points for owning so many USED articles of clothing, draperies and blankets. Someone else can be penalized for those pesticides, I simply rescued the items from certain death in a landfill.... AMAZING challenge. Totally not up to it. Work just won't allow it :-( But I'll promise you this. The next non-work related fabric item I buy new (sometime in May, right?) WILL be organic. Is good? Oy vey.
