There have been studies in the field of econ to show that one of the unfortunate side effects of "going green" has resulted in much more waste by energy consumption in manufacturing and by throwing...

soften up the minimalism

I make these a lot as gifts... fill them with rice and put them in the microwave for about 3 minutes, like popcorn. They stay warm all night, too!
