Pantheism was that 'Nature is God


////////////////If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.

To really get in the habit of reusing, focus on:

Reusable shopping bags
Lunch boxes and Tupperware containers
Buying in bulk
Borrowing from others instead of purchasing
Rethinking your “trash” – you may be able to make something new out of that old desk




///////////////////Have you considered purchasing recycled-content bathroom tissues or paper towels when stocking up on these supplies for your home? According to Greenpeace’s recent release of its first Recycled Tissue and Toilet Paper Guide, “Americans could save more than 400,000 trees if each family bought a roll of recycled toilet paper—just once.”



/////////////////////Stop Buying!

It can be as simple as this: if you don’t buy waste, you can’t make waste. For example, a group in San Francisco did exactly that. They set out to buy nothing new for an entire year. While that might not work for everyone, the essence of it is definitely applicable in different-sized doses. Do you really need another (fill in the blank)?

Do you already have something at home that will work? Do your friends or family have something you can use or borrow? Even if it ends up that you need to buy it anyway, just getting into the habit of thinking about alternatives is a step in the right direction. Be open-minded, and see where it leads you!
