Comments on: Week 19 Results: 4.6 oz of plastic http://myplasticfreelife.com/2007/10/week-19-results-46-oz-of-plastic/ Think we can't live without plastic? Think again. In 2007 I committed to stop buying any new plastic & I've almost succeeded! Won't you join me? Let's see what plastic-free looks like in 2012... for the health of our bodies, our oceans, our planet. ~Beth Terry Fri, 17 May 2013 22:46:06 +0000 hourly 1 By: terrible person http://myplasticfreelife.com/2007/10/week-19-results-46-oz-of-plastic/comment-page-1/#comment-543 terrible person Mon, 29 Oct 2007 17:34:00 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/2007/10/week-19-results-4-6-oz-of-plastic/#comment-543 Hey, bubble wrap has a lot of uses — as a burglar alarm, for instance. You put it by the door, or the window, and if anyone sneaks in … they make a lot of noise, and wake you up, and startle themselves! (It’s a bit like the way Floyd Thursby, one of the bad guys in “The Maltese Falcon”, is described as putting crumpled newspaper around his bed when he sleeps to reduce the risk of someone sneaking up on him.)

When I get bubble wrap at work, I like to put it on the plastic sheet under my swivel chair, so that each time I push back from my desk, it makes a popcorn noise. This helps make up for the fact that in my office we are not allowed to make popcorn in the microwaves.

OK, really, I try to reuse the bubble wrap when I’m sending items to others.

i pester the boyfriend into buying a sink filter (the pur water kind)..and he was very hesitant to do so. i convince him and so he says okay. we get said water filter home and i cannot get it attached for the life of me. thus making me enlist the help of the boyfriend who also cannot get the thing attached. after much effort, many tools, and a half soaked counter, the filter gets attached half assed…the half assed part being that water leaks slightly from around the faucet. my half wet boyfriend, while glaring at me, stated im not allowed to bring home anymore “beth” ideas for at least a little while. heh. AND neither of us has even tasted the water yet in fear of getting a mouthful of yuck. but on a side note…the boyfriend DID ask me whether “beth” would appreciate the individually packaged chips i bought this weekend. and while i would say no, you wouldnt appreciate it, they are not JUST individually packed chips but they are portion controlled astroids and im trying to watch my weight! (OH and this post was just to give you a hard time. EVERYTHING in our household is a production!)
