Elaine, and Folks,

    You know, there IS a happy medium between feeling guilty about
    'everything' and saying 'oh well'. 

    Personally, I try hard to eliminate disposable items or items I know
    were extremely harmful to the environment. I don't eat fish or
    seafood; I don't use paper towels or paper napkins. But, I do use
    toilet paper. I try to be a responsible consumer and still live
    pretty normally. 

    Wanting to contribute to conservation efforts, in however small a
    way, should never garner such ridicule from people. We should
    applaud every effort to be better stewards of the planet, it is the
    only one we've got. 

    I say BRAVO to everyone making any effort to reduce negative impact
    on our environment. 

Sincerely,
Dawn B. of Taylor, Texas
