We use the plastics to line waste baskets and recycle those that we don't need. It hasn't been incredibly hot here, but it is so dry. This is reminiscent of the years I was pregnant with my daughters: 1988 and 1991. It was 104 at the time my oldest was born (her 19th bd was yesterday). How's your daughter doing abroad?

And, for non-squeemish women, reusable cloth pads are also a relatively inexpensive (esp. if you know how to sew at all) change to make. Replacing your teflon (when it wears out, not just for the heck of it) with cast-iron (which'll last just about forever & a day) and/or stainless steel. Re-using glass jars instead of buying more plastic (even if it's just to carry your water & leftovers in, to work), and of course using real dishes & silverwear instead of paper & plastic disposable. Good luck with your changes!!!! I'm working on the DH & FIL about composting. I'd like to get into it, the FIL is almost persuaded, and the DH thinks it'll stink to high heaven & isn't up for it at all.
