Frugal Moment

I read something interesting today that made me think. It was from a box of Celestial Seasonings tea. Here’s what it said:

“Ever wonder why… no string and tag? (referring to their tea bags coming string/tag free) Our unique pillow-style tea bag is the result of our commitment to doing what’s best of the environment. Because these natural fiber tea bags don’t  need strings, tags, staples or individual wrappers, we’re able to save more than 3.5 million pounds of waste from entering landfills every year!”

3.5 MILLION pounds of waste from TEA BAG TAGS?

Now, before you go accusing me of being a tree hugging, Al Gore loving,  ”global warming” enthusiast let me switch gears a little- If tea bags sold from one company can have that much impact on waste, what about all those little things YOU do each day to save money for your family? Never underestimate the power of the “little” things!

Oh, and by the way…I do like to hug the occasional tree

I hope you enjoyed this little Frugal Moment.
