EcoWabi is now relocated to France. I went to a big supermarket, equivalent to Wal-Mart in the U.S., on the first weekend in France.

I was in aisles of daily items like shampoos, toothpastes, paper products, milks, cereals, cookies and etc. The surprising things were the prices (they seemed more expensive than Chicago) and the sizes of packaging (they were smaller). Smaller contents for higher prices… The first thing that came to my mind was that I have to be selective about what I buy from now on…

From this fact, I especially felt guilty about my daily habit of using toiletries in the U.S. I might have been using too much shampoo every night. I might have been using excess toilet papers at a time… And, I think I was using more than I need of everything…

Since this shopping trip, I took a look at my habit again and simply started to use less to save money (and it’s green!) for my future European life.
