A niffty little green idea.
TREES PLANTED
I thought Albert was going a bit batty when I saw these (used) teabags drying by the fire. Then I a troubling thought that he was going to dry the teabags and then reuse them – as teabags!

I know we are a pretty green family, but even I would not be a part of this resource saving idea.
Of course, it all became apparent when I saw his next move. Dipping the (now) dried teabags into a jar of metho and putting them into the fire.
He was making fire starters! Fantastic, ingenious man!
Commercial fire starters are smell nasty things and a quick look at the packaging tells us that they are made of all sorts of chemicals.
The teabag method works a treat.

The Kogi people of Northern Columbia have been sending the same message to the West for years. It’s a familiar refrain here at Fifteen Trees, and one we wholeheartedly endorse: ‘Unless we stop violating the Earth and nature, depleting the Great Mother of her material energy, her organs, her vitality; unless people stop working against the Great Mother, the world will not last.’
