Question answered by Emily
between shipping, and cleaning costs they actually end up being pretty similar in environmental impact and disposable ends up being much more sanitary. I would suggest tampons with cardboard (biodegradable) applicators or if you use pads to recycle the packaging. If you decide on reusable be sure to sterilize after EVERY use to prevent infection.how did you save your budget during college or rough times?
I am planning on going to a school in Oregon. If I am able to get the resident's tuition, I already have enough saved to pay for that. My boyfriend is a firefighter so he will help, too. I have always been excellent with money management and I am doing a lot to live as green as I can and don't buy disposable products so that helps. However, I do eat organic which can be pricey but I'm not willing to give that up. What are little things you can do to save money?

Question answered by David M
I don't understand what living "green" has to do with saving money or being on a tight budget. As a matter of fact, in many ways living "green" is more expensive than living otherwise as you point out when buying organic food. Alternative "green" sources of energy are typically twice as expensive as traditional sources. As far as having a tight budget, I have always lived under a tight one whether I needed to or not. During "good" times I would save more and during tough times save less. But I always tried to save. The key is not to buy things you really don't need and not to live extravagantly unless you deserve it and can afford it. Buy things you only truly need and buy them on sale. As far as living "green" it's OK to conserve and use less energy. Turn the thermostat back, drive less and more efficiently carefully planning your trips, use only fuel efficient cars. But solar power, wind power, ethanol, organic foods, etc. will all cost you more than traditional products.What do you attribute the high divorce rate in American life?
are the women only good for sex? are americans treating spouses as disposable products? when done with them sexually, throw them away and get a new girl to satisfy your sexual fantasies? do women talk too loud to be treated as feminine? do women drink like guys and therefore looked at as a piece of meat to play with and throw away when done? are american women attractive beyond a tool for sex?

1. Reduce rubbish. Buy goods that are not over wrapped. Do not buy excessive quantities of food that goes off quickly. Do not cook more food than needed and that has to be thrown away . Package your own fruit and veg and only buy what you need. Utilise reusable bags and baskets. re-use cardboard boxes Buy clothes because you need them and not to follow fashions. Pass baby clothes on to others as they are quickly grown out of . Give things as they are without extra "fancy" packaging. Do not buy frivolous things and gadgets that clutter or do not contribute anything to your life- style 2.Separate rubbish for recycling Save papers for recycling. Save metals, particularly aluminium used for drink cans, and take to recycling collection points. Take Bottles to bottle banks or put in special bins for collection. Give clothing that is still in good condition to charities. Lobby your local council for all rubbish to be sorted and recyclable items separated and sent for recycling. Put unwanted books in book banks or take to Oxfam bookshops for reselling. If you have a garden have a compost bin. Buy durable products and not poor quality items which have to be discarded soon after purchase because they break quickly. 3. Avoid using disposable products Use proper plates, glasses and crockery, wash them rather than buy disposable ones. Invest in muslin and terry nappies for babies. Have hard flooring rather than carpets. Use washable napkins not paper ones. Pick things that are packed in recyclable containers. Produce your own meals rather than use pre-packaged ones. However I am a little worried because your headings only address a certain area. It is also important to save water. Also unless in special circumstances one should not buy bottled water which has a heavy carbon footprint in terms of transport and disposal of containers. What about avoidance of harsh cleaning products that pollute rivers and sea water?. Shouldn't something be done not to over exploit resources What about over fishing and throwing back catch because it does not coform to EEC quotas? Should all those huge buildings with thousands of offices be left lit at night as they are now? What about other energy savings? Walk instead of driving short distances. Avoid un-necessary journeys?(All these meetings which could be conducted by phone conference) Giving a chance to staff that live locally rather than appointing people who have to commute long distances etc....hi there! i want to know whether disposable or reusable sanitary products better for the environment!?

I would think they'd be better for the environment, just as re-using clothing is better than wearing paper clothing! You can buy or make cloth pads, or there's also the Diva Cup or the Keeper which are worn internally.Why are US Citizens getting mad that many low skilled labor is being shipped over seas?
Would you rather have a society in the world economy making shoes, and cheap disposable products for low wages. Or have a society in the world economy that has the highest skilled labor that makes high end products at higher wages? Be realistic. I don't want a society of shoe making, paper box folding citizens.

I have a degree and a few years of experience. I'm struggling to find a job, and I've been trying very hard for the past 2 years. I'm currently working about 20 hours a week at minimum wage - it was the best I could find and I only got it because I knew someone of influence there. I would LOVE another minimum wage job, even if it's just folding boxes or making shoes. I need money to simply just pay rent right now. I know many people more experienced than me who are struggling more than me to find work. People who used to make $40,000 a year are now making $0 a year and are about to find themselves living on the streets, and they're working very hard to find a job. They would love those jobs. I just want a society of people who have jobs.Is it more cost efficient for a home to use paper plates and solo cups or actual dishes and glasses?
I know that it's terrible for the environment to use disposable cups and dishes on a regular basis, but would it actually be most cost-effective to buy disposable products than using a dishwasher to clean dishes and glasses? I was hoping someone could show me a study or some hard numbers here--I suspect disposable for an average household is NOT cost effective, but I need proof to make my folks stop this nonsense. :-)

Actually dish washers use less water than washing dishes by hand, to increase savings, you should look for a dish washer that has the "Energy Star" logo on it, as this will also save you money off of your energy bill. I know washing dishes can be a pain, but think about it this way, the 10 minutes combined, it takes to load and unload a dish washer, are better than the hour or more spent at the grocery store buying paper plates. Because it is bad for the environment, we all really should stop calling it "annoying" to take a few minutes or a few small steps, to decrease our harmful impact on the environment. I'm not trying to preach to you, just wanted to comment on that, because a few answers use that excuse. If you decide to stick with the paper plates, maybe there are other areas where you can cut down cost, as the main point of your question, was about cost efficiency. I would suggest going to the Energy Star web site.Why is deodorant better than liquid soap?
When I run out of deodorant, in a pinch I just apply liquid soap to my armpits and leave it there. Honestly, while being much cheaper, this seems to be exactly as effective as my usual Old Spice. This got me to thinking, why not just always do this? There are good-smelling liquid soaps. Maybe the whole deodorant thing is just a waste of money that we've all been brainwashed into participating in by disposable products giants like P&G.

Question answered by AuntKatie
I think you could be correct if you are using a deodorant. However, if you are using an anti-perspirent it would not be the same.Have you used the Diva Cup or any related products?
1. What is your honest opinion? 2. Did you really save money? 3. If you're still using it, how long did it take you to get used it? 4. Did you go back to disposable products? 5. Did you give up on everything and remove your ovaries?

What is it ...I have never heard of it sorryCan I recycle disposable plates, cups, bowls, etc?
I notice that styrofoam bowls, plactic cups and other disposable products have a recycle logo on the bottom. How can I recycle them if they are contaminated with food?

Question answered by e
we do at our home. the grandchildren came from arizona last summer, and we wrote their names on plastic cups they used so they would reuse them continuously during the day. we washed them with the dishes nightly. they are preparing to come again, and we still have their plastic cups they used last year. also, we reuse plastic utensils instead of throwing them away. as far as styrofoam, we try not to use it at all. when it does come our way, however, it can be washed, broken into small pieces, mixed with fertilizer and used in containers for house plants. it works incredibly well.
