Comments on: Year 2, Week 44 Results: 1.2 oz of plastic waste & LaundryTree Winners! http://myplasticfreelife.com/2009/04/year-2-week-44-results-12-oz-of-plastic/ 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 Fri, 17 May 2013 22:46:06 +0000 hourly 1 By: Amy http://myplasticfreelife.com/2009/04/year-2-week-44-results-12-oz-of-plastic/comment-page-1/#comment-6079 Amy Mon, 18 May 2009 23:04:00 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/2009/04/year-2-week-44-results-1-2-oz-of-plastic-waste-laundrytree-winners/#comment-6079 Beth, I’m inspired to buy and try Soap nuts, so I went to their website, and their picture is with the plastic packaging. You mentioned they will continue using the plastic packaged bags until they use them up, so I requested paper on my orderform. I’ll let you know what I end up with! Thanks Beth.

I think the package may have been smaller than the Sandisk package. But I should send it back, shouldn’t I?

I wrote to SanDisk a while ago to complain about excessive packaging, but nothing appears to have changed since then. It’s frustrating, because SanDisk has a near monopoly on sales here. If you feel like writing and complaining about the packaging used for the card you bought, feel free to copy any lines you like from my letter. It’s at http://cousinyellowstone.blogspot.com/2008/10/letter-to-sandisk-about-excessive.html

Maybe it’s like having a nice exfoliating scrub. Maybe the tree actually enjoys it.

The point is, as humans, we have no idea whether plants experience pain or not. But we know for sure that birds and sea turtles and fish do from ingesting plastic.

Please read my post about why harvesting natural cork is good for the environment:

Natural corks makes trees cry and plastic corks make the baby jesus cry.

Do you know that the cork is painfully stripped off the poor Quercus Suber tree? And that it hurts? And that it leaves the tree to suffer as bark is its protection? And that they do it to the same poor trees over and over as soon as they heal?

I prefer plastic corks :)

Best,
G

Thank you!

I tried to find your email address on your blog page to send my info, then realized that my email address wasn’t on my blog either. So, here it is:

Yeah! Thanks, again.
