Comments on: Week 32 Results: 3.7 oz. of plastic waste http://myplasticfreelife.com/2008/01/week-32-results-37-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: Anonymous http://myplasticfreelife.com/2008/01/week-32-results-37-oz-of-plastic-waste/comment-page-1/#comment-1189 Anonymous Wed, 30 Jan 2008 00:49:00 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/2008/01/week-32-results-3-7-oz-of-plastic-waste/#comment-1189 Dear Beth,

I’m a former Bay Area gal (from Albany) now in L.A.. I certainly admire what you’re doing. I have been trying to cut down plastic for some time but not anything like what you’re doing. You GO girl!

You threw away a plastic cartridge this week… I save mine. I kept an injection needle used on my cat at the vet’s (saving me the $3.95 “hazardous waste” disposal fee) and bought a glass bottle of ink. I suck it up in the syringe and refill my ink cartridges for a variety of Sheaffer ink pens. The needle lets one get right in the hole and fill it back up again without a problem.

As far as cheese in plastic… I was deep, DEEP in the mountains of Mexico at a market and curious to see how they wrapped their cheese. They use palm leaves, wrapped with palm twine. I told the girl that all cheese in the U.S. came in “plastico” and she said, “Por que?” (why?)

Port Lincoln is a pretty isolated place with LOTS of tuna…

Tuna, gumboots, cowpats… there’s nothing an Australian won’t fling around at a country fair!

Also, aren’t you excited at how much less this week was than in the past?

Thanks for checking out my blog – your blog has definitely been an inspiration in taking this step. And yeah, I thought it was pretty great that this guy decided to share his compost heap with everyone in the city – maybe that’s an idea that people in other cities could use?
