Our oceans are filling up with plastic: plastic that harms wildlife and never biodegrades; plastic that enters the food chain and leaches toxic chemicals. This blog is a record of my journey to live with as little unnecessary plastic as possible. Won't you join me? Fake plastic fish may be cute, but if we keep filling up our oceans with plastic, they could be the only kind we have left.... |

Year 2, Week 38 Results: .4 oz of plastic waste.
It’s 4:30am and I’m still up. So this tally post will be very short. All new plastic again this week:
- Packing tape from a package my dad sent. A late birthday present.
- Plastic bubble wrap bag from same Dad package.
- 2 plastic envelope windows. Both Financial West Group.
That’s it.
Tomorrow, I’ll announce the winner of the Lunchbots Duo. Stay tuned.

I’m sure I would be upset with myself if I saved all my plastic waste from a week. At least it’s getting smaller and even my plastic recycling has gone way down.
I thought I was up late last night! Hope you got to sleep in!
We’ve been getting a lot of bubble wrap at work and those damn plastic packing air pillows too. You probably already know this but I’m going to say it anyway, the UPS store will take the bubble wrap for reuse and Kinko’s/Fed Ex said they would take the air pillows. I first posted the packing materials on Craig’s list for free and a kind person gave me the info. above with the stipulation I pass it on. Which I am repeatedly.
Tell me what you're thinking...
