Organics cost more than non-organics. We have mostly accepted that as a society. You pay a premium price, you get a premium product. Organics have many health benefits, as well as ecological benefits.
What about packaging? Sometimes the product you want (take for example, sketching pencils) will come in a variety of packaging. Will you pay the extra for the packaging you want?
I was at Michael's (local art store) looking for some sketching pencils and paper sketch pads. They had a variety of packs of pencils, most of which came in plastic, or cardboard with a plastic window. There was one package which, not only came with a great variety of pencil strengths, came in a little tin box. Now, to me, it was worth paying the extra 2-3$ for this, because the tin box will be useful, and it's less plastic being disposed of. This little tin box will keep my pencils from breaking as easily, and keep the cat from using them as toys.
Do you find that you're willing to pay extra for optimal packaging for the products you want?
If a store doesn't have a product with the packaging you're looking for, will you hold out until you find it?
Peace and curiosity,

Social Networking: Helpful or Hopeless?
So, I am all over Facebook. I use it for it's actual purpose: Social Networking. I enjoy catching up with people that I don't see regularly, keeping tabs on who's having kids, etc. I love it.
Some people don't think it's a good thing. Some figure, if you want to find out about a person, call and ask them! But I don't really see it that way. I see it more as a way to open conversation. When you already know a bit about what's going on in someone's life, it makes it easier to initiate and maintain a basic conversation.
I find it very helpful in also finding information, such as who may be looking for a place to live, or who is trying to get rid of some of their junk.
How about you, do you use Facebook? If you do, what do you primarily use it for? If you don't, what's stopping you?
Don't be shy, I'm actually curious!
Interest and accuracy,
Simply Me
