no more wire hangers!

While most of us will do anything to avoid paying ten bucks to have our socks washed on vacation, sometimes the need to take advantage of hotel laundry is too great.  But have you ever noticed how many bells and whistles come with this service?  Socks and undies arrive in new cardboard boxes stuffed with crisp tissue paper.  Your best shirts are hung neatly on wire hangers, covered in paper and then smothered in plastic with a few metal staples thrown in for good measure.  What happens to all that plastic and virgin paper when you check out?  Exactly what you think.  Next time you have to fill out the laundry form, put a note in the special instructions section that you don’t need any excess packaging.  A hanger will suffice for the stuff that needs to stay wrinkle free and if you’ve got a minute, inquire if the hotel recycles hangers.  Better yet, save yourself a whack of cash and hand wash as much as you can.  Just a few more ways to travel a little lighter, a lot sexier.
