Comments on: Plastic-Free Discussion Board Restored! http://myplasticfreelife.com/2011/08/plastic-free-discussion-board-restored/ 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 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:04:31 +0000 hourly 1 By: Beth Terry http://myplasticfreelife.com/2011/08/plastic-free-discussion-board-restored/comment-page-1/#comment-36985 Beth Terry Fri, 02 Sep 2011 22:47:21 +0000 http://myplasticfreelife.com/?p=4967#comment-36985 Hi Chris. I just now found your comments stuck in my spam folder. Once in a while it catches things that are not spam, and your comment is definitely not spam. Thanks for leaving the link to your blog post. It’s amazing to see graphically how much energy is used to manufacture and transport bottled water.

I really like your blog, you have a fan in Sweden too :)
I’ve been thinking about something that I want to ask you.
Is there a general differens in hard and soft plastic? I know we shouldn’t use it at all but if there is a situation and I’m choosing between a product either in soft plastic or in hard, is there a general rule that one thing is better? Say, if there is no number of which kind of plastic it is, which one would you choose?

I don’t know if my first post went through. If not, darn! My description of the link above was fitting. I wrote a recent article about “single use plastic bottles” and mentioned you, Beth, and the influence your site had on me as I researched a more plastics free life.

I mentioned you and your site and what you’re doing. You influenced me to continue on a forward path! Thanks! I do hope you and your readers will read my post! It’s starting to be cross-posted at important sites that will further help spread the message! It can be found at:

Representing South America in the challenge! So far, we have no one south of Texas!

Well, actually that’s not true if you count Australia and New Zealand, which are way south. But none on this side of the world.

Oh by the way, I have saved the plastic for the “show us your plastic” challenge… but my camera is broken! I will borrow one from a friend soon, and send you everything :)

I’m looking forward to more creative ideas for going plastic-free. And to the fun of sharing with like-minded “kooks” like me (I’ve got a reputation in my family…they indulge me…)
