If you want to use real dishes, that's your choice but it's my right to use paper and plastic if I choose to. Some of you are probably destroying the planet in ways that I'm not, so you're not better than anyone else just because you recycle and/or use real dishes.

Exactly. How many of those posters drive vehicles with V8 engines or leave the water running while they brush their teeth, for instance?

I feel like there's issue mixing going on here.

The rent deal should be separate from who does dishes.

Hybrid, and I use the water long enough to wet the brush. Then I turn off the water and brush my teeth while I'm walking around doing other things.

What else ya got?

I don't need an excuse. I can do what I want. When paper and plastic becomes illegal, then we'll talk.
