Eco-Friendly Folding for a Lower Carbon Lifestyle

I AM WEIRD, coming from you, my weirdness teacher, THAT is weird LOL. I SILL love you!

[shantijasmine]

That you are! : )

[shantijasmine]

I'm not sure if this is very clever or a sign of national OCD! LOL! Maybe both : )

[camswitzer]

OCD = Ostensibly Clever Dude.

Thanks for the compliment.

:O  Is this a Japanese thing??

[camswitzer]

No idea. Don't you do it?

[BoltMitch]

I've never seen it done before, until my Japanese friend showed it my mom! Now you're doing it, too. haha

[BoltMitch]

PS: And it was only recently that I discovered this.

[camswitzer]

And it was only a few days that I made this video!

Funny. Maybe it IS a Japanese thing!

Have you seen the method of ironing layers of plastic bags together in order to make reusable fabric for making bags, straps etc. out of? I do believe MakeMagazine has a video on it - you might wanna check it out!

Take care Cam ;)

I have seen that too (ThreadBangers did a video on it once), but the biggest issue with doing it is you need to be in a well ventilated area because the gases that come from ironing all that plastic together is very bad to breathe in.

Maybe it is a universal (albeit rare) thing. Some two years ago my mom suddenly came up with the exact same bag folding practice and since then I've been doing it as well. I've never seen anybody else do it here in Finland, though.

PS. I find watching a guy fold up a bag for 4 minutes most fascinating (scientifically, of course!)

[guajataka55555]

omg Cam! I just luvs u!

Im actually gonna ask fabric goddess if she is selling any bags. the plastic ones irritate me :-(

[camswitzer]

That's cuz yr weird, Carrie. And we ALL know that... any of us who know anything about you, that is! Go to bed.

gotta try that! thanx for the idea.

I noticed your title "...for lower carbon..."

Found something interesting on WikiLeaks. It turns out that global warming UN scientists were forging global warming data. There is no warming. It was all a scam on the part of the UN to squeeze money from advanced nations in the form of taxes. All that being said, taking care of the environment is still important in many other ways.

1984 - I read about that too, but it's not so simple because both sides twist the stories. Things are changing no doubt about it, as we can see by the changing weather patterns as the years go by. Now even if it IS a 10,000 year "cycle" we are still going to be experiencing all the degradation that goes along with the cycle dipping into the "disaster" zone. The environment is going down the tubes. Glad you liked the video.

Wow that was pretty interesting!

[camswitzer]

You're probably the only person in the world who will say that watching a guy fold up a shopping bag for over 4 minutes was ... "interesting".

But thank you. I appreciate it!

Have a great day.
