I have been going "green" for sometime now. Some of my practices have become second nature, some I have ditched, some I have tweaked to be more practical for my family. One of my pet peeves has been the toilet paper cores. I don't do crafts that require toilet paper cores and I don't have a hamster. So.....what to do?
I discovered this!
So, I figured this would appeal to both our sensibilities.
I was wrong. Apparently being coreless results in it not "rolling smoothly". I have no idea why that is a problem, it doesn't bother me but the resident handy man came to the rescue.
Yes, a piece of pvc pipe the length of the paper holder and the width of the "core".
A permanent "core". Problem solved.
The man is a flipping genius.

You've got a treasure there - the chap. not the pipe I mean!
I agree but I have to say -- this has been his only contribution to my green efforts. He has sort of developed a need to turn off all the lights lately -- don't know what is fueling that but I can go along with it.
