[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a different take on this. OP, being environmentally conscious seems to be important to you, and I'm guessing this bothers you because it is so counter to how you thought your household would consume paper products and other disposable goods.

However, many of us are not "wasting" products, in the sense of just grabbing handfuls of wipes or something, but we're also not being careful to use only the recommended four squares of toilet paper (that's just an example). I'm a MB, btw.

If it is important to you to have a nanny with the same values as you when it comes to things like disposable goods, or food (this was where I was very picky), or screen time, or naps, or outdoor activity, then you need to interview for those qualities. What she's doing is annoying you, but it's not out of the ordinary.[/quote]

This is OP.  Thanks for your take.  I'm hardly a "green warrior", but I believe in making environmental choices when they're easy to make.  For instance, I totally understand why hardly anyone cloth diapers, because it is a lot more work, but when I see people using huge wads of paper towels to clean a little mess, or in nanny's case, a huge wipe to wipe a drop of snot, it does bother me.  Like do people not care about the environment??  But reading your post, it hit me (and it's something I already know, but don't think about) that most people are not environmentally-conscious in their day to day lives.  Nanny is being like most people whereas I'm in the minority.  It makes me sad that being environmentally-conscious is not more a way of life, but I can't judge nanny for being in that majority.[/quote]
