Awesome post and really terrific video. Very, very thought provoking. Thanks for doing it.

P.S. Did you know you had a plastic pumpkin hanging in the kitchen the entire time you were filming there? I did laugh…

I’ve been using canvas grocery bags for a while and want to try cloth produce bags. There are many suggestions here that I would like to try. I didn’t like the metal taste I had when I used stainless steel drinking bottles. I found a site that sells glass drinking bottles called lovebottle.net. The bottles are on the pricey side but well-worth the extra cost, at least for me.

Beth, this post was nothing short of life-changing. I’ve avoided plastics in some areas of my life for years, but never really looked at the whole picture of how I use plastic – what a scary eye-opener.

I love that this happened to be the top post when I discovered your blog, because you make such a great case for the power and importance of small personal action. Since having kids, I’ve had to scale back so much of my public political activism – can’t risk getting tear-gassed while pregnant!

My focus has shifted to the personal choices I make an individual and a parent. You outline beautifully why those are important and how they help us become more powerful when we move beyond the personal into the political…

This is getting long for a comment – I think I’ll need to write my own long post about it. :)

thanks, again, for such rich food for thought!

Oh, I feel guilty that I didn’t come to hear your speech now… Wonderful job! I’m sure it was even more moving in person! :)
