Review: Mansfled Paper Co.

These guys' ad appeared on my blog as environmentally friendly, recycleable containers. Well, that's kinda right: being old school (started in 1946, pre-environmentally awareness days) they make paper stuff: plates, cups, etc. Better than styro-foam and other hazardous materials, but not really what I'm looking for.

On the plus side, they do sell and promote environmentally friendly cleaning agents, like Hydrogen Peroxide based cleaners called EnvirOx. They even list the "drawbacks" ("EPA Environmental Hazard!") of regular, standard cleaners, like bleach. SO, yeah for the old foagies!

Review: Recycling sites

https://www.konnects.com/recycling/?gclid=CJypmMWHwIcCFQsnYQodkSGwHw

Recycling Connects is a really boring site.  S'pozedly to "Connect Business people in the recycling industry", there's really nothing to it.  it offers a free trial, which suggests you usually gotta pay, and that's kind of a turnoff.  Their graphics are lousy and there's nothing I can gleen from their site to use for this post.

Summary: Don't bother.

unikeeper.com is also another ad featured on this page, and it sucks too. Why? cause I blog about RECYCLEABLE stuff (and I CAP THAT not cause I'm yelling at you, but in a futile attempt at getting adsense to recognize my niche: RECYCLE, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, REUSEABLE, etc etc).  Uni keeper is none of that, just more plastic stuff.  Yuck.

Wow!  On my sty-ro fo-am (again, broken up to confuse adsense)blog, a cool ad appeared for BAMBOO SHOPSTICKS!  Now that's kinda cool, I should blog about bamboo.  Oh, the things to do....

Obsessed about Reusing

We don't through away anything.
(unless it rots, of course.  We're not that disgusting.)
I have a thing for jars and chopsticks.
I view a newly emptied jar like a mother views a newborn.
I wash it tenderly and reapply the lid, a variant of cutting the umbilical cord.
 
Ok, perhaps that's too extreme....

Decrying the Google Ads on this site!

Such hypocracy! Google ads selling CHEAP PLASTIC PLATES! The kind you use ONCE and throw away!
NNNOOOOO!!!!!
Yuck! Not more junk!
(sigh)
Ok, this is an attempt to change that ad: NO TO P-L-A-S-T-I-C and D-I-S-P-O-S-A-B-L-E!
We want ads that call for Environmentally friendly products,
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
Biodegradeable.
Cermanic or glass or something that we can reuse again and again.
Environmental.
Biodegradeable.
Biodiesel.
maybe if I repeat myself enough times, the ad scanner will pick it up:
Environmental
Reusable.
Biodegradeable.
Biodiesel.

Now let's see....
