Jon & Kate Plus 8 Go Green
This episode really amazed me! As for going green - on one hand the Gosselins are trying to reduce their enery consumption with the installation of solar panels and tubes and yet they consume their food on paper plates with plastic cutlery at every meal! This refuse is ending up in the landfill. Just think of all the trees used for paper plates and the years it will take plastic cutlery to break down if it ever will. Get with the basics first! Washing plates is fun and a good chore for children to do. Dishwashers are designed to be more energy efficient as well. Going green is “fashionable” right now but don’t you think they need to look at basic lifestyle changes? I also think that Kate is a fanatic about her children’s clothes. Who cares if there is a spot or two rather than washing and drying endless amounts of clothing because they are not perfectly clean! Kid are kids - get over it!
were do we go to get the solar panels,and the led lights.
love watching your show,hope Jon will carry it on.
