When it comes to finding ideas for this blog, Green is Sexy is truly the gift that keeps on giving — and it’s wrapped in a reusable hemp bag, with a 100% post-consumer recycled card that has seeds embedded into it.
So yet again, I swallowed my pride, moseyed over there and snooped around in their filing cabinets until I found something good. Then, when they were busy refilling their Nalgene bottles with carbon-filtered tap water, I stole one of their ideas, submitted by Rebecca Boudin.
She says whenever she has a cup of green tea (which she buys loose and in bulk, natch), she saves the used leaves in a sealed container; then, whenever her fingers get all stinky and smelly from chopping garlic or onions, she’ll simply dip them into the tea leaves and presto — they’re clean and odour-free! No need for fancy hand soaps or sanitizers.
Because I often brew green tea at home, I’m going to make a point of doing this myself, which means I’ll be using less of my Method hand wash. Then, when the tea leaves get dry or start to smell weird themselves, I can just toss them into the compost bin. Hoorah!
