Comments on: Dear family and friends, http://myplasticfreelife.com/2008/12/dear-family-and-friends/ 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 01:54:37 +0000 hourly 1 By: Aparna http://myplasticfreelife.com/2008/12/dear-family-and-friends/comment-page-1/#comment-5317 Aparna Sun, 15 Mar 2009 11:24:00 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/2008/12/dear-family-and-friends/#comment-5317 This is really nice, Thank you.

The non-profit was founded by a very great friend and has a fascinating history. Also to blue lake fine arts camp which inspired my daughter for 9 years in music. I plant trees when I take road trips and give to local organizations – food shelters and resale shops

It is just my kids and I and we keep gifting remarkably practical

They are meeting me 1/2 way. We are keeping the Secret Santa practice, which in and of itself cuts way down on the crap to be bought, but cutting the set price tag by 1/2 and giving the other half to the local foodbank.

Like you, I’m enjoying the season and buying only a handful of gifts. I don’t believe that I’ll be given a single gift – other than maybe some cookies or something. But that’s not what Christmas is about, is it? That’s not what I remember about Christmases years ago. I remember making ornaments by hand the Christmas we spent in Tahoe, I remember rolling out dough with my mom and driving to see the Christmas lights with my family. Oh, and puking in the back of the station wagon while driving to see my cousins. It can’t all be good. ;-)

Merry Christmas!

Reading you letter, it dawned on me that I’ve seen zero Christmas decorating as yet. Maybe Canadians are less decorate-y than Americans. Maybe the supposed recession has held us back. Who knows? I’m doing craft shows like mad, but everything seems mild and hand made-y bliss. Of course, I don’t watch TV or go to malls, so that helps.

I’m so glad you talked about EWG. They are the IT group in my world! Them and Women’s Voices for the Earth and WHEN Women’s Healthy Environments Network here in Toronto.

May your every dream come true,

Tracey
