I can't imagine going a month without using plastic. My keyboard is plastic, my work tools all have plastic components (I am a landscape gardener), and it just seems such an integral part of our lives, unfortunately. I'll be looking for some inspiration this month on how to reduce.Genevievehttp://www.northcoastgardening.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690484677400583003.post-27895380620139167082011-02-02T17:24:37.355-08:002011-02-02T17:24:37.355-08:00Baling twine can be woven into great doormats!

Do your glass containers come with non-plastic tops? Ours don't, but it's still less plastic than buying jugs. I really look forward to your post on storing food without plastic. I'm going to try to use this year to purge myself of as much plastic as possible. My husband is pretty accepting as well, despite my obnoxious proclamation every time we go out to eat with friends of "You know that'll never truly biodegrade, right? It'll degrade sure, but it'll still exist -forever- as tiny chemical molecules..."<br /><br />My goal for the animals next season is to express my concern to our local hay-farmer such that he might switch entirely to using natural fiber twines on his bales. I hate to switch suppliers since his fields are close and he's a nice guy, but we throw out so much twine it's ridiculous!Emily Jenkins https://www.blogger.com/profile/05505117652925137452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690484677400583003.post-81305278161417533952011-02-01T19:29:30.048-08:002011-02-01T19:29:30.048-08:00CHiot's Run: i'm jealous you have a way t...CHiot's Run: i'm jealous you have a way to get your milk in glass.

We get our milk in glass, don't own a plastic storage container. I think I'll do a blog post about ways to get around using plastic for food storage, a few tricks I've learned during my no plastic years. <br /> <br /><br />We're doing a No Buy February with a few other bloggers, and these two things will work beautifully together! <br /><br />Cheers, here's to a no plastic life! Can't wait to hear about how you do.Chiot's Runhttp://www.chiotsrun.comnoreply@blogger.com
