New Years Resolution 2020 - To be more sustainable
Two years ago was the last time I have posted on this blog....and I have missed you all!
As many of you know I started my journey to finish up my four year degree and obtain my teaching license in Family and Consumer Science. Well, as of right now I am full time student teaching at a local high school and will be graduating in just four months. That is the main reason I have been MIA with this blog.
But, onto my New Year's Resolution from 2020. It is Valentine's Day tomorrow, and I heard a statistic that at least 95% of people have long given up on their resolutions. Well, I am part of the 5%!
My New Year's resolution was to do something sustainable every week and to try new things and research new ideas. I am still going strong. I will share with you items and actions that I have taken, and will try to post every week what actions I have taken to remain loyal to my resolution. I am not being compensated for any of these companies, they are just companies I have researched and find to fit into my life choices. I will be doing a post about each week and what we did to become more sustainable.

Week #1: Who Gives A Crap
But, how does the toilet paper actually feel? I can say that I really like the bamboo version. There is no dyes, perfumes or even compressed designs on it. It is soft on our delicate parts and is a three-ply, so it does the job with the same amount of paper as the large brands. My daughter, who has been known to clog a toilet she uses so much toilet paper, really likes the recycled paper. Her new house is a well and septic system, and the toilet paper has been working well with her septic. I am not sure if she is using more or less, but hasn't complained. And trust me, if she isn't happy with her toilet paper, she lets everybody know! She actually Tweeted about it the one time I accidentally bought 1-ply paper about four years ago. I have no complaints about strength or softness.
Our bamboo toilet paper came in fun black and white patterned paper and the recycled toilet paper came in brightly colored paper. I am not sure if this changes with what they have, or if it will always be the same, but I am excited to see when my next subscription box comes in a few months.
