Method to the madness.

Now that I'm living in the top green city in America (or one of the top five greenest depending on your source), I'm trying to be even more conscious than before about my purchases. Today I went in search of closet air fresheners and picked up a few Method aroma rings.

Not only are they biodegradable, nontoxic, naturally derived, kid- and pet-friendly, and not tested on animals... they're sarcastic! Seriously, the instructions read:

"1. Remove fragrance disc from package. Tear off foil cover. As tempting as it is, do not puncture disc. Fragrance will naturally diffuse through the protective membrane within a few hours. Trust us on this one..."

Now how much would you pay? (I paid $4.99 each. TAX FREE, no less.)
