Having just spent a 10 day silent retreat at Santa Sabina (The "Non Dual" Wisdom teachings as presented by Richard Miller) the premises (and bird) shots you took were warm reminders of the value gained in that contemplative setting.

As is true for many things, it is not the basic nature of "plastics" as a category that should be eliminated:
it is the fact that there are too many people on Earth to be supported. Yes, there are wiser usage patterns for our consumption of the plenty that the Earth is providing, but there is no life style that you could project that would sustain for long the 9 billion folks that will be on the planet shortly.

Nevertheless, I applaud your activism and concern on this issue.

Namaste',
David

Its always heartening to see that our thoughts and comments are being heard by businesses and other groups. :) I think its fantastic that they took so many steps all at once! Its a much slower process to get big corporations to change.. but oh so worth it when change does happen.

I love how clear they made the whole process — both making it a no-brainer and potentially guilting everyone into participating. Right on!

I suspect they put a plastic garbage bag in the compost bin to keep the bin clean. How about No Bag rather than a sompostable paper one- the down side they may have to rinseout the bin!
