needed a large-size girdle. the shop assistant found the box with the described girdle marked “lg”, and asked if i would like to try it on. “oh, no, a large one will fit just right. i neednt try it on.”the next morning was rather hot, so i waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go. i opened the box only to find a new girdle in a small size. since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldnt fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle. have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag?

got to the church. i heard one of the people say that they were having a high mass. i turned to my husband and asked, “what is a high mass?” he shrugged his shoulders.unfortunately, i learned that

to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recyclingrecycling in the home is very important of coursehowever, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we needwe are dealing with the results of that overconsumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place the total amount of packaging has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005it now makes up a third of a typical households waste in the ukin many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environmentthe uk, for example, is running out of it for burying this unnecessary wasteif such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effectrecycling helps, but the process itself uses energythe solution is not to produce such items in the first placefood waste is a serious problem, tootoo many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they needhowever, few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example but this is not just about supermarketsit is about all of uswe have learned to associate packaging with qualitywe have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor qualitythis is especially true of foodbut it is also applied to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary there are signs of hopeas more of us recycle, we
