...condition began when I read of a couple in New York City who had vowed to live a whole year without toilet paper. They were conducting an experiment in environmentally low-impact living as research for a book, they said. For a year they would eschew transportation that emits carbon dioxide, shun foods wrapped in plastic packaging and, most dramatically, conduct the elimination of their waste without the aid of wasteful paper products. I mull the logistics of paperless hygiene as I load a family-size pack of Charmin Ultra Soft into my Subaru Forester. According to the plastic packaging...

Older observers agreed that the changes aren’t too flashy. “It’s not that different...
...empathize with this author because of my days on Dorm Crew, when I’d think about how the grueling physical labor made me more humble and spiritually centered. It’s funny how well you can rationalize something when you’re scrubbing a toilet. Enough about me, though: just take a gander at Michael Gates Gill’s view of the hard-working commoner: fat, bald, and leaning on a mop. Either way, hidden in the title is a good recommendation for Harvardians: if we can learn to live like everyone else, then when...
