Comments on: Karey Harris, Week 1 http://myplasticfreelife.com/showyourplastic/2009/11/karey-harris-week-1/ Take the challenge. Collect your plastic waste (both recyclable and non) for one week or more. Then photograph, tally, and post it here. What can we learn about our habits and lifestyles by examining our waste? And what changes can each of us make to leave the planet a little less trashy?

I’ve been toying with the idea of removing the outer layers of the bags and recycling them, since I think the plastic is only on the inside layer.

Thanks for taking the challenge! Browse around the site and see if other participants have solutions for some of your questions or if you can help some of them.

As far as vegetable oil goes, I buy Spectrum brand Canola oil which comes in a glass bottle: http://www.spectrumorganics.com/?id=6 Our local Whole Foods carries it.

I make my own cat food, but I do realize that most people don’t have time to do that and that cats can be finicky eaters. Fortunately, ours love the homemade food. My problem is the plastic cat litter bag I end up with every month or so because our cats won’t use any other litter besides World’s Best, which comes in a plastic bag.
