Comments on: Aloha! Year 2, Week 31 Results: .1 oz of plastic waste. http://myplasticfreelife.com/2009/01/aloha-year-2-week-31-results-1-oz-of/ 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 Tue, 21 May 2013 04:24:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Fake Plastic Fish http://myplasticfreelife.com/2009/01/aloha-year-2-week-31-results-1-oz-of/comment-page-1/#comment-4664 Fake Plastic Fish Sun, 25 Jan 2009 20:11:00 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/2009/01/aloha-year-2-week-31-results-1-oz-of-plastic-waste/#comment-4664 Ambrosia Farms — I believe Walmart is claiming their detergent is green is because it’s concentrated, so it comes in smaller bottles and requires less plastic (as well as fuel for shipping.) But it’s not zero plastic, is it?

Cindy24 — Lowering consumption is the answer to so many problems, isn’t it? Do you think people will continue to buy less when the economy improves? (Or is that an oxymoron? I really don’t know.)

Thanks to everyone for wishing me well on my trip. I’m back and ready to blog about a whole lot more!

They are the bulkiest plastic on the market!

I do not understand where all those plastic laundry detergent bottles go? I agree with your cause where plastic does not biodegrade nor would we want it to since it is so toxic, so how are these concentrated laundry detergent bottles a good thing?

I struggle going to my in-laws where they use plastic, disposable cups to drink everything. Odd, huh? My parents burn thru plastic water bottles at their house like crazy!

So, that comment hit home for me…thanks for the smile!

I figure it evens out: we serve people waste-free food when they’re at our house, and they serve us whatever makes them happy when we’re at theirs.
