  • Recycling clothes

    If your clothes are made of Capilene, they're made of recyclable polyester.  Patagonia will recycle old Patagonia "base layers" ... yes kids - longjohns.  Just drop them off at your local Patagonia store or mail them to:

    Patagonia Service Center
    Attention: Common Threads Recycling Program
    8550 White Fir Street
    Reno, Nevada 89523-8939

    1.  I like eating meat, especially beef.  I try to find grass fed and local, and avoid the harmone / antibiotic kind, but I grew up on a cattle farm and thoughts of vegetarianism give me cheeseburger cravings.  Mostly, I feel guilty about the fact that I dont really feel guilty about it.

    2.  I drink water out of disposable bottles at work.  The water here is terrible, there's nowhere to keep a Britta pitcher, and I forget to wash my reusable bottle every night.

    3.  I drink coffee out of paper cups - same problem as the water.  I'm lazy about doing the dishes.
