I used to love to buy eggs at Aldi.

But no more. They’ve gone to a biodegradable “green” paper carton, which would be all right, except that the eggs now cost thirty cents more, and they’ve axed the Bible verse and the recipes, too.

Your environmental gospel: less for more.

Fortunately, I save pretty much every item of packaging which enters my house, for craft projects which never seem to happen. So now I’m taking all my empty egg cartons to church, where I give them to an organic-farming friend whose chickens are pumping out eighteen eggs an hour, apparently, and she gives the cartons back to me, and to other people, too, full of fresh eggs for FREE.
