Comments on: The Perfection of Imperfection http://myplasticfreelife.com/2007/12/perfection-of-imperfection/ 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 Thu, 23 May 2013 23:35:26 +0000 hourly 1 By: sandy http://myplasticfreelife.com/2007/12/perfection-of-imperfection/comment-page-1/#comment-859 sandy Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:54:00 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/2007/12/the-perfection-of-imperfection/#comment-859 You should have seen the mortified look on the Cashier’s face the other night when I said I didn’t want her to wrap the wet radishes in plastic prior to putting them in my tote. She said “I am sure you have your reasons” and was totally thrown off for the rest of our transaction.

This post & the one you linked to are so very great. Not only this time of year, but always. I’m just beginning to realize the magnitude of plastic’s horrors, but at the same time, it’s all around us. And it does do some good. There are medical plastic uses that literally save lives. And we have these little, seemingly inconsequential bits of plastic that signify connections between people. Can’t lose sight of the forest for the trees, as it were.

It’s so easy for us to get so wrapped up in “doing the right thing” that we can inadvertently hurt another’s feelings and create an even greater harm. In a rush (and pajamas!) you picked up on the shop owner’s thoughtfulness and responded in kind. A wonderful entry, especially at this time of the year.

Especially this time of year, it’s important to focus on the people in your life and let some of the plastic slide. Besides, all those New Year’s resolutions will turn us back into petro-nazis soon enough!
