I think what you’ve done and are continuing to do is great. You’re getting the important message of taking care of this planet, beloved to some of us, to many out there.
I’ve been mindful of not getting plastic bags and have been using reusable bags for the last 6 years. In the beginning, when I’d bring in my own bags, even if I’d occasionally squirm because of the strange looks I’d get, I always reassured myself I was doing the responsible thing.
The county I live in has now passed a no-plastic-bag regulation on grocery stores starting Jan 2013 and I feel like a free bird in my own land! Not many understand my joy, but it doesn’t matter. I feel like the planet is rejoicing with me each time each of us makes a responsible choice and that makes me feel good.
I hope your book reaches out far and wide and gets more and more people to make the responsible choice for themselves and the planet we all share.
Warm wishes.

Hi Michael. Not a stupid question at all. The whole thing was actually my publisher’s idea. From the moment Skyhorse Publishing accepted my proposal, they decided they would figure out a way to make the book without plastic. I am very fortunate they wanted to publish my book because other publishers might not have had the same vision.

I feel stupid asking this, but how were you able to specify the cardboard cover? Was the publisher / printer simply willing to work with you?

HI JeanetteS. This is a topic I address in my book. Some things in bulk bins come in paper, some in big plastic bags, some in boxes with a plastic liner. It’s all different and depends on the product. But the main point is that it’s producing a lot less plastic waste than smaller sizes of the same products. There is one store called in.gredients, which I also mention in the book, that is opening in Texas that plans to get the packaging out of the entire supply chain. Hopefully this will be a model for other stores to follow.

Hi! My sister and I just ordered your book and can’t wait for it to come! Quick question that has be gnawing at me: How does the product come packaged that is put in a bulk bin? Have you answered this question before? Just curious if it is a large plastic bag in a box that takes the product from the manufacturer to the store.
