Which is worse.....?

So, it's that time of day when I want a little snack (who am I kidding, I am hungry all the time!).......and I started wondering....is it better for the environment if I eat my snack on a piece of paper towel or on a plate that I have to wash. Kill trees or use water?

pitu

wash the plate.
but wash all the plates at once, and don't splash too much.

A dishwasher actually wastes less water than hand-washing dishes. Of course, then you're using electricity. :?

damn you with your fancy high tech gizmo's like dishwashers

I hear you Mama...What i wouldn't give for a dishwasher! I despise washing dishes. My old aprtment had a dishwasher and I never saw this place until we moved in (someone else helped us find it) so I was really bummed when I realized there was just a sink, or as I see it an old-fashion torture device.
I may sound a little dramatic, but I seriously hate washing dishes!

or you could wash them when you take a shower like Kramer from Seinfeld (or did he cook in the shower?)

I used to have a dishwasher at my old place (10 years). Don't have one now.

It's best to snack on the paper towel. You could use the extra fiber.

Fix an extra tasty snack - that way you will lick your plate clean.

plate -- it isn't as if no water went into making that paper towel.

or use your hand -- but then you'll probably want to wash it....

best to just stick your face directly into the snack's original container. wipe face on back of hand, wipe hand on nearest cat. (cats are self-cleaning and use water very efficianetly.)

How To Clean Your Toilet The Fun Way: Instructions on how to clean your toilet


1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.

2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.

4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and rinse".

6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.

8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.

9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.

Sincerely,

The Dog
