Once you begin to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle, it sometimes wind up becoming another thing to obsess about or something to perfect.  However, at the end of the day, choosing from different eco-friendly options does not have to be a right or wrong decision.  It is often just a matter of personal choice and timing.

For example, as we prepare for the upcoming school year, we decided we will be reusing our existing lunch bags and school bags because they are in great condition.   I know some individuals who plan to upgrade all of their "plastic" based bags and items to organic cotton alternatives.  But, where do their old items go (most probably they will wind up in the trash)?  So, it's important to use some common sense and gradually replace old/worn out items with more eco-friendly items.
