I have shopped out of bulk bins for a long time (I have my own glass jars) but it only recently occurred to me that the bins themselves are plastic. And, the bulk items are probably shipped to the stores in plastic containers. We just can’t win. :(

Wonderful! Wonderful! I’ve been living like this for decades. It’s so deflating thinking you’re all on your own in the eco-fight! So happy to see you here. Great articles! I have added myself to your fans at FB and followers on twitter.

I choose the stainless steel container contest! But it’s just great to see more and more people really LIVING the sustainable life! Maybe all I did back in the early 70′s wasn’t for naught! :-)

1. We’ve been slowly eliminating plastic from our kitchen and finding substitutes. The most successful experiment has been the bread (homemade in bread machine) being wrapped in cloth and stored in an old popcorn tin.

2. I”d love to be entered in the giveaway for the stainless steel container! Still don’t own one yet!

3. I follow you in my RSS feed.

4. I”m not a huge fan of sippy cups, but we use KK with the sippy and sport tops for our kids when traveling.

I started phasing out the plastic containers in my kitchen by reusing them to organize my craft and office supplies. After what I’d read, I really didn’t want to eat out of them anymore! I started buying glass jars at garage sales and thrift stores and reusing the ones salsa and pasta sauce came in (I have quite a collection now!). Getting the plastic out of my kitchen has not just resulted in a healthy space and clear conscience, I’ve found that glass jars are much easier to organize than those messy plastic containers and their lids!

I’d love to enter the giveaway and am interested in the bottle. Thanks!

Beth, I was *almost* afraid to read this entry because as you may know, I still use (and advocate) the cheap plastic Gerber containers for food storage. I’ve done this simply because in the scheme of “going green,” there is so much to do and so much expense, and kids lose tops…BUT…after reading this, the connection between fats & plastic really connected for me. I’m going to be more circumspect when I talk about this on my blog, pointing back to your post. AND I’m going to stop packing my son’s peanut butter sandwiches in the reusable plastic containers! THANK YOU. You continue to inspire me every day – just last night at my son’s school event I was thinking of you. (Hope to get a post up on that).

So yes, I’ll enter the giveaway fro one of the stainless reusable containers (and if I win, I hope my kids don’t lose the top!)

Thanks,
Lynn

Hey there, love your blog! We have been spending this month focusing on getting the plastic out of our kitchen (along with the non-stick, but that’s another story). Anyway, we’ve found that we LOVE stainless, and that pyrex rocks for hubby’s lunches (though they do have plastic lids…). I would love to enter for the SS Bottle for DD… and while I firmly believe breast is best, I was unable to breastfeed exclusively and could no longer produce after 5 months (talk about a long hard struggle… again another story). Anyway, I love the idea of a stainless bottle!!

I’m interested in winning either the ss container OR the baby bottle (if I win the latter, I’ll probably give it away as a gift).

1) We use Pyrex bowls with (ahem, plastic) lids to store our leftovers – they’re great for my husband to take to work and pop into the microwave for lunch.

2) I exclusively breastfed my baby girl for 6 months and we’re still nursing at 14 months. We tried bottles a handful of times and she never took to them. So I’ve learned by experience that they aren’t necessary. Moms just have to be committed to being available to their nurslings – a sacrifice, I know, but it’s not forever!

3) I left a comment on your guest post at KS.

4) You better believe I left as many comments on Katie’s ss container giveaway review post as I could!

8) I became a follower on Twitter. :)
