Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! I used to write several blogs, but thought just concentrating on one would be easier for me and my readers. Sorry, it ends up having several topics in each post!

Plastic Free Day

 Today is International Plastic Free Day.

Thanks Tom for letting us know. 

June 1 will be National Gun Violence Awareness Day
Wear orange!

I just took out the trash in my plastic garbage bag (required by the collection people). I emptied all my indoor trash baskets where grocery plastic bag liners are reused as many times as possible.

I'm typing on plastic keys on my laptop. Sitting in a chair with plastic arms.

My glasses have a plastic rim and maybe even the lens.

Now how can I be plastic-free? What a great goal. Just thinking about it is so challenging. 

Thanks for the thought. Each of these items are stretching their usefulness for my life. And I can't see any way to live without them.

What can I not use? Single use plastic utensils, plastic cups or plates...not in my house anymore. 

I can certainly drink out of containers not plastic, and not use a straw (an early effort for awareness). 

Awareness is the message.




Another thought for today:

To be astonished is one of the surest ways of not growing old too quickly.

  1. ...we just returned from the downtown farmers market, with our reusable bags and a few plastics bags.

  2. I can (and have) reduced my use of plastic, but I don't see a way to eliminate it entirely.

  3. There is SO much plastic around. It is tough to avoid it.

There is today, more than ever, the need for a compassionate regenerative world civilization.
