Exercise in Awareness

Pick a room that you spend a lot of time in - your office, your kitchen, your living room.

Next, make a list of the objects in that room you touch on a usual basis.  Pens, utensils, counter tops, phones, keyboards, couches, light switches, carpet, etc.

Make a note next to each object in your list with the material that object is made of.  Is it plastic?  Is it wood?  If it's wood, is the wood covered in a poly finish?
