Elan--Note exactly a tip, but the Finger Lakes Reuse Center will be opening 
in the not too distant future.  This will be a boon for all lower-income 
folks and the rest of us on a  tight budget as well!   Tom

P.S.:  Marian--I'm glad you "errored" and sent you response to the 
list.  It was quiet interesting, especially the shopping bag part.

"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present 
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own 
needs."

The World Commission on Environment and Development,
Gro Harlem Brundtland
Our Common Future, Oxford University Press, 1987

MY NOTE:  Sustainable development does not mean "sustainable growth" as 
growth per se is not sustainable.  And the term "sustainable" has to mean 
"for a very long time" (A. Bartlett).
