Paper or Plastic?!

Ceramic is not an option. I lived in a dorm my freshman year, where my roommate and I shared a sink about the size of a basketball (weird comparison?! ) and had beds that were about 2 feet apart. My not-so-tidy roommate chose to eat her beef-a-roni out of a ceramic bowl and then would leave it in the baby sink for a few days (piling it high with coffee mugs and drinking glasses) before finally cleaning up all of the grimy dishware. Interesting, considering that we were supposed to wash our face/hands and brush our teeth in said sink.

I THOUGHT this went without saying, but next time that you hit up the grocery store, be sure to reach for some paper towels, paper plates, plastic forks, paper napkins and plastic cups. No, this is not very environmentally friendly; but when the only sink that you have is the size of a small Crockpot (not to mention, it’s constantly clogging up) and you are fixing all of your food within a 10 foot radius, you have to make some sacrifices!
