I have long prided myself on having a lengthy fuse. Not much bothers me. Turns out I may need to update my personal M.O., because I am getting more and more annoyed when I find a really clever, cool item that should be eco but isn’t.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m not a mean, green, intolerant-if-you-waste-water-by-flushing-your-pee, fighting machine. But this bamboo floor mat is just begging to be even a light shade of green. Make it recycled or reused or sustainable, or anything other than polyester!

I’ll get over it, but my fuse is rapidly approaching scorched.
