It doesn't bother me at all that you decided not to "participate" in it. To me it's a personal thing. I do however, really enjoy the way that you are presenting your take on it. You are living in a manner that many of us either could not or would not. I love the fact that rather that try to do something that is low impact for a week you are sharing with us the things you already do that are low impact everyday. I've been thinking this, and felt like I needed to take a minute to tell you. I feel much better now.<BR/>:) P~P~https://www.blogger.com/profile/13403847624491620709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-56279834563304944812007-06-05T11:31:00.000-05:002007-06-05T11:31:00.000-05:00We have a big barrel that is used to burn paper pr...We have a big barrel that is used to burn paper products. It is filled weekly (paper plates, mail, etc) and after the ashes get to a certain level, they can go around the trees or flowers.
