You are being selfish. By maximizing use of paper and plastic you are taking jobs from makers of paper and plastic. Imagine if everyone did what you did and stopped being, "nuts." Think of the devastating effects on the economy. "Yet another paper plant closed today in the wake of mass conservation, causing more layoffs and Wall Street to suffer another decline," will be the opening line of Brian Williams and his ilk. Perhaps people like you are responsible for the mess we're all in now! Think of your fellow man dammit!

But seriously, hats off to you. Continue to do it. Share your practice(s) with Helpful Hanna columns or start your own "Dear Tommy" column. Got any ideas on how to conserve Pampers? Boy are they expensive.
