Comments on: Week 31 Results: .6 oz. of plastic waste http://myplasticfreelife.com/2008/01/week-31-results-6-oz-of-plastic-waste/ 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 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:04:31 +0000 hourly 1 By: Green Bean http://myplasticfreelife.com/2008/01/week-31-results-6-oz-of-plastic-waste/comment-page-1/#comment-1157 Green Bean Fri, 25 Jan 2008 16:55:00 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/2008/01/week-31-results-6-oz-of-plastic-waste/#comment-1157 Lookin’ great! You’re really making head way on the plastic.

That’s really interesting about your blow dryer. I’ve had two mini appliances break down this week – mixer and iron that I have used maybe 3 times since I bought it. Using my not so expert electrician skills, I took both apart and tried to fix them but no go for either. I wonder if there is a place that fixes smaller appliances like that. I hate to chuck such big pieces of plastic in the landfill.

I’m in the midst of my second waste audit, and we’re doing so much better than we were before, but we are truly plastic junkies. I find it creeping up in places I would never expect. I need to spend some more quality time with your articles to figure out how to reduce!

Hawaii is gorgeous, no? Were you just on Oahu? Oahu is my least favorite of the islands, being so overdeveloped. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to go to Maui or the big island one day and marvel in the untouched scenery. :)

My friend from San Diego brought some to Maine for Christmas this year and I devoured them! Yum, yum, yum. I admire your motivation and drive in this endeavor. I sometimes just say, what the heck, and end up making waste that later I feel guilty about. It’s nice to be privy to your efforts.

The piles seem to be getting smaller and smaller.

You are an inspiration! I am going shopping this morning for food & supplies for my family over the weekend since I will be gone, and that little pile makes me more determined to keep ours as small as possible.
