The Loss of Natural Resources

I'm not talking about clean water, clean air or original stands of forest. I'm talking about resources that frugal and crafty folks rely on to save money, to make things for the home and for gifts and to keep the kids occupied.

I can see the handwriting on the wall. Plastic grocery bags have been under attack for some time now, and every so often, we hear a warning that "next year" all of those freebie garbage bags, wet clothing bags and barf bags will be gone.

Another resource that's under attack is those cardboard tubes they put in toilet tissue. What will we use to corral electric cords or start seeds in?

We better start hoarding junk mail and cardboard boxes. I'm serious. Kind of, anyway. ;)
