Comments on: Year 2, Week 45 Results: .2 oz of plastic waste http://myplasticfreelife.com/2009/04/year-2-week-45-results-2-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 Mon, 20 May 2013 09:06:23 +0000 hourly 1 By: green LA girl http://myplasticfreelife.com/2009/04/year-2-week-45-results-2-oz-of-plastic/comment-page-1/#comment-5868 green LA girl Tue, 28 Apr 2009 21:49:00 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/2009/04/year-2-week-45-results-2-oz-of-plastic-waste/#comment-5868 Only 74%, avg. error 140 miles :(

Average error was 20miles and I got 88%. All my states at least overlapped the correct area except RI. Not too shabby for a non-American who now lives here.

I did actually know about the different kinds of plastic windows. Here’s my post about it a few weeks ago: http://www.fakeplasticfish.com/2009/04/year-2-week-42-results-05-oz-of-plastic.html. Some are plastic and some are not. And sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference.

“It is not necessary to remove the windows from envelopes prior to recycling; most window envelopes are made out of water soluble paper fiber instead of the plastic that was once used. Recycle envelopes as mixed paper.”

Have you heard about that? It was the first I’d heard of it. Maybe you’re an ounce lighter!

I love them!! The company is awesome as well. I love them as well haha.

I also haven’t entered your giveaway pledge because I think there are others on your page that can use whatever you giveaway more than me. But as you know I’m always looking to reduce my plastic use. :)

Oh and I’m scared to the state thing again in fear I will get worse lol.

Not bad as I’m not American and have never been there or even studied it. I have looked at maps and the occasional tv program.
