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. |

...we just returned from the downtown farmers market, with our reusable bags and a few plastics bags.
ReplyDeleteI can (and have) reduced my use of plastic, but I don't see a way to eliminate it entirely.
ReplyDeleteThere is SO much plastic around. It is tough to avoid it.
