Question: Have you caught on to the concept of using ecofriendly, cloth-type shopping bags for groceries?

My shopping bags are dark green and washable but the hubby refuses to use them. They are really great for veggies and fruits, if for nothing else.
I solved the Bathroom Trash can dilemma buy cutting off the top of an old pillow case and sewing on a hem or if that is too wide, place some elastic inside first, then sew the hem around. I was them with the laundry every week or so. If you are afraid of ruining a nice basket, just line with a plastic bag first.
ronatnyu: no matter the color of bag it would be delicous to you-it's the animal in ya!

Answer: I use them all the time and have been doing so for over a year now. I have zip top insulated bags for the cold stuff and green ones for everything else. It takes a while to remember to take them but I leave them near the back door now and haven't forgotten for ages.

I find the biggest advantage to be that they're much easier to carry when they're heavy - plastic bags really cut into your hands. Here in Australia, about 70% of people use them now so checkout operators are used to them and don't seem to mind at all.

Postal bags are a great inexpensive way to ship goods that already have good quality packagings or do not require protective clothing such as postal.

The plastic bags normally used less material than the cardboard boxes, cartons, or in pots and are therefore often considered packaging reduced or minimized. Depending on the construction, plastic bags can be well adapted Recycling plastic and can be incinerated in appropriate facilities for waste to energy conversion.

Bags can be made with a variety of plastic films. Polyethylene of various grades and types, is the most common. Other forms, including Rolled and coextrusion can be used when physical properties are needed.

Plastic recycling improves the use resources. Biodegradable film must be kept away from the recycling stream usual to avoid contamination of recycled polymers. If removed in a landfill, most traditional plastics do not decompose easily. The sterile conditions of a landfill also sealed discourage degradation of "biodegradable" polymers.

Polyethylene is a polymer composed of long chains of ethylene monomer (IUPAC name ethene). The recommended polyethylene scientific name is always deducted from the scientific name of the monomer. In certain circumstances, it is useful to use a structure-based nomenclature. In such cases IUPAC recommends poly (methylene). The difference is due to open the double bond in the monomer polymerization. In the polymer industry the name is sometimes shortened to PE in a manner similar to that by which other polymers like polypropylene and polystyrene are shortened to PP and PS respectively. In the United Kingdom the polymer is commonly called polyethylene, which is not scientifically proven.

Postal biodegradable bags are also available as Degradamailer a degradable bag biothene post. These films are made by blending an additive to provide UV / oxidative and / or a biological mechanism to degrade. This usually takes 6 months to 2 years in a landfill if sufficient exposure to oxygen and heat C. ° F/60 ° 140

Degradation is a two-step process. First the plastic is converted by reaction with oxygen (light, heat and / or molecules of stress) to molecular fragments that water can wet, and then these smaller oxidized are biodegraded or transformed dioxide carbon, water and biomass by microorganisms.

Question: Space Savers For Small Studio Apartments?

My sister just moved into a small studio apartment and its made much like a hotel room, with a very small closet and she needs somewhere to put her clothes in exchange for a dresser, as the dresser she has would be too big. thanks for your help.

Answer: I don't know if your sister can afford it, but Pottery Barn has a great bedframe. It has a platform for the mattress and the base has openings either for drawers (which you can order with the frame) or baskets that pull out. My daughter has a small apartment and I was thinking about it for her. I'll post the link below for you to look at it. I could only find the daybed, but it also comes in full and queen with more openings in the catalog.

If this is too pricey for her, maybe she can come up with an idea of a platform for her bed (even a sheet of plywood cut to the size of her mattress and box spring and some type of supports on the four corners) and use baskets underneath the bed.
