Gorgeous. Thank you for gracing us with your blog! I’m trying to eat better things like this. I usually just grab a banana (plastic free) while chasing my baby around.

Mmm… that breakfast does look delicious!! Tomorrow I’ll probably make some muesli myself (instead of the usual bread and cheese).
BTW, according to the only copy of womens magazines I posess, bananas and nuts are the best foods to relieve stress. You probably had the best breakfast imaginable!

Yes I remembered to have a blueberry scone at the burien press while Romeo ate his puppy biscuits. :P .-= Rob´s last blog ..More about Allie Larkin and "Stay" =-.

I recently did this meditation in a group called the Miracle… Where you close your eyes and imagine that you wake up one morning and a miracle has happened overnight, and the world is exactly whatever it is you dream it can be, from the clothes and furniture to city layout and social culture. After we found someone else in the room and shared what we imagined, then shared in a group.

That was the important part, the sharing. The imagining gets you to stop envisioning the worst case (or simply what happens if we don’t change the status quo). It got my mind in a more positive place. The sharing gets everyone realizing that there’s a lot in common, we all want similar things, and we can work towards those things.

Beth, your blog is the sharing part. It’s where everyone gets together and shares this dream that you’re helping turn in to a reality, just by writing about it. A more plastic free existance.

When I get all panicky like that, though, meditation won’t cut it. I need a plastic free, carbon footprint-less, non-disposable, infinantly reusable and recyclable HUG from a loved one. That ALWAYS works :D

Beth… you can’t save the world alone…. it has to be a team effort ;) The other day I said to my friend, “I feel like there are ALL these people out there who want the same things… we’re all out here doing what we do… living to make a difference… hoping to change the world… and only dreaming that the rest of the world will catch on…,” and then I said, “If only we could all come together… if we could ALL connect… just imagine what that would be like.”

Then I read this…

Today…I’m feeling optimistic… :)

Granola with strawberries, it was very good and now I can face the day. Breakfast is a very important part of the day, and plastic free breakfast, even better. .-= Sense of Home´s last blog ..Eating Well In Season =-.

Can you imagine how kids feel today, Inheriting a world where there may not be any more fish? The BP Oil Disaster lets the wind out of my sails every time I see a new photo or read a new article. I just saw a video on Care2 yesterday of undercover footage at a hatchery in Santa Cruz that made me cry so hard I almost vomited. I often feel helpless and think "how can I make a difference?" But like you, I refuel, meditate and make the right choices daily - oh and spread the good word. .-= Pure Mothers´s last blog ..Earth Day Exploration =-.

Beth – I hope you pushed past the overwhelming…like others here I keep coming back to you and this blog to get re-inspired to reduce my plastic use…I get better and better but you are always making me look at new areas of my life and how plastic has invaded.

And my favorite breakfast is oatmeal with berries, honey and milk (and flaxseed for omegas)…which I had this morning…it wasn’t quote as plastic free as yours but it was organic – and tasty!

Thanks for writing a food post! I follow your blog but don’t comment much. I’ve been trying to cut back my plastic use, mostly inspired by you, and I’ve really, really appreciated the help. I’ve noticed, however, that most of our plastic use is from all kinds of food, and I have no idea how to cut back. Please include more good examples of plastic-free meals, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
