Re: Blog COMMENTS RE: Confessions of a GreenDad

Uhm, maybe buying something from an outlet saves your GREENS and keeps the outfit from going into the landfill? I'm trying here...

I just love confessions. They lurk in the recesses of our hearts and homes. We are afraid to bring them out in the light for fear we will be seen as "less" (less caring, less eco, less green, less in control, less strong, less you name it. To confess in public is, well, over the top.

SOOOO I loved the confessions. I'll only admit to one that makes me green blush for being wasteful. OK, so I got a chlorine filter for the shower, I have lo flow toilets (and can mostly stand yellow water), the shower head drips water turned on full blast these days - lo flow u know - I brush my teeth with a whisp of water, use left over drinking water to sustain plants and fill the cat bowls, and wash clothes in barely enough water to cover them.

So what is the real confession??? A HOT and sinfully long shower (5-6 minutes). Hey, I do my best problem solving in the quiet of the moist heat where NO ONE, I mean NO ONE, dares interrupt. It's actually good for the planet to have those problems off the table. I suggest we put the president in a hot shower and not let him out until this war thing is solved. Just might work.

Meanwhile, I'll keep up the other water savers and encourage u all to send me your problems to solve - to balance the guilt and save the planet. LOL

5-6 minutes in a shower is a "sinfully long shower"? Okay, string me up by the hemp rope and tickle me silly. That's a normal shower for me and I was so proud to get it "down" to "only" that much time. Of course, I'm hiding from my husband and daughter to have a little "me" time. And I do some stretches for my tight, dried up muscles - maybe it's considered medicinal then?

Problems you can solve for me? Nothing compared to the ones you've suggested for our leaders, so you can work on those on my behalf. Take an extra minute or two - it will be worth it.

5-6 minute showers???? Well you ladies are 'greenest' or super green in my book when it comes to showers. I still can't quit my 30 minute warm to hot showers. Oooh, can I say that? We are in a drought. That almost feels illegal.
At least, I don't take one everyday....which sounds gross....but I have very dry skin and super dry curly hair.....so technically, I can't.
