Ever since I learned about purchasing carbon offset credits (Team ClifBar & their biodiesel bus), I didn't understand the point. Throwing money to some kid helps offset my drive (plus a sticker!)? The movement never stuck with me as something I could participate in and believe I was actually doing good. Today I found CheatNeutral, which makes a beautiful mockery of carbon neutral. By offsetting your infidelity, you can come clean, just like we do with carbon. or something.
Now that I'm at home, I wonder around in awe of how my parents live (and that i actually came from them). Most of that awe is questioning motives, you know since I'm into design and all, I want to understand how and why they've designed their lifestyle as it is.
For example, in the bathroom is where the household cleaning supplies stay. I'm not sure if this was a good or bad idea, but I got them all out, arranged, inventoried and photographed what I found.

In total, 65 containers of various cleaners, ranging from ammonia to shoe polish.
Here's a sample of the inventory.
4 windex spray
4 Fantastik antibacterial spray
4 White Vinegar
3 Guardsman Furniture Polish (wood scent)
2 32 oz baking soda
2 Comet cleanser powder
2 Comet 'soft cleanser' w/bleach
2 Soft Scrub w/ Bleach
2 Glazed Tile & Grout cleaner
2 Ammonia
1 windex institutional size
1 Formula 409 wipes
1 Simple Green Spray
1 Spic & Span 'everyday'
...
Another bathroom had around 20 more containers of products.
In the next issue, I'll get to the bottom of this chemical nightmare.
