easy being green
I have been trying to be more green, reduce my carbon foot step, and lower my intake of just plain old stuff.
This has been rather troubling lately because our toaster broke making it so we had to stand and hold the lever down to toast our bread. It only takes three extra minutes of a day. Still, that is three minutes that could be the difference between wet toddler pants and dry toddler pants.
So I researched and found the above toaster that is basically heaven sent. It is pretty, cooks a lot of bread at once and it is at my local Costco. It is lovely.
However, my conscience kicked in and I did not want to send a toaster to the land fills. I don’t think they decompose well and I don’t know what I am supposed to do with it. Also, there is probably some four year old somewhere who made it and the new one. It was just a nagging feeling, and I would have loved to welcome a new beautiful product into my home.
Instead, I got out a screw driver took it apart and fixed it myself. Can you believe it? Suddenly it is the good karma toaster and just as beautiful as the other. I am so proud.
