ECO BAGS - NOT!

It is great for the collective consciousness that everyone is starting to use so-called eco bags instead of plastic bags, but it is time to stop using them because they are poly (oil) based. The better alternative is a 100% cotton canvas bag, which are more expensive but can be found brand new at thrift shops for the same price or cheaper than the so-called eco bags. Hemp bags are an even better choice, but they are also expensive. So, when purchasing a so-called eco bag, please check the labels. We must stop using poly based products and we must start educating people about those products.

NEW USE FOR ADDRESS LABELS

I don't know about you, but I receive so many address labels: correct & incorrect name and address, labels from organizations I don't ever support, ugly labels, flags, houses, holidays, etc. Well I am glad I never threw them out (well maybe some) because I now use them instead of scotch tape. If I use them for outgoing snail mail when using "recycled envelopes" that have no glue, I cut off the objectionable picture and just use the address labels to seal the envelope. I use them for almost all scotch tape uses. They can be cut lengthwise for the thinnest strip and they will still be sticky. Besides saving money, you no longer have to buy a petrol based product, as most adhesives contain petrol by-products.
