Hey all! I'm going to tweet this post's url and add it to our Earth Day post on our site. I dislike much about plastic, so appreciate all your efforts in getting a great bit of information out there to everyone.

Thanks!

Wow, what a moving video. Thanks for all your hard work putting together this carnival. May be weekend reading for me – but I’m slow. ;)

Lots of interesting info.

I wonder why we as a society skip the first three! steps, REFUSE, Reduce and Reuse, and jumped right to Recycle. Even recycling is a hard sell...
Refuse to bring these items into your life. Not just reduce.

One major thing to refuse, although it not popular, is reproduction.

Thank you Beth for hosting this month’s carnival. The topic of course could not be presented by anyone else. I’d love to see how they created that wave of plastic in that video – love it!

Wow what a great list of plastic free posts! How inspiring.

I love the video and will post it on my site as well. The bag coming out of the nose and being thrown up was a little sickening but as Lynn said, very effective.

Good luck with your taxes!

Beth,

A fantastic carnival of people clued-up to the current situation. You just feel that one day everybody will be doing this.

To be part of the change to sustainable living gives you a positive feeling in a world of negatives.

Beth,
Thanks for all of these links!

Unrelated: I didn't find mention of this company and its products on your site. I just got a plastic free shipment of deeply discounted organic sheets from Gaiam. I was so pleased that from a major retailer the only plastic seemed to be some stickers on the box. The sheets are super-soft and on sale - still pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

Cheers,
Megan
