Living and working in a the wet climate of South Louisiana, it is nearly impossible to get away from all of the water the Earth has blessed us with. In the wake of Katrina and Rita, I can not ignore the fact that the water that surrounds us can be both a blessing and a curse. Of course when it comes to my paper making production it is indeed a blessing. Rain is usually so bountiful in this area that it make so sense at all to not use what the Good Earth gives us so regularly. It's another step I've taken to conserve, reduce, reuse, and recycle.
