Comments on: Plastic Challenge: Emily, Week 2 http://myplasticfreelife.com/showyourplastic/2011/02/emily-week-2/ 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 guess I forgot because I have’t knitted in a while. But I have to learn to crochet for a new project I’ll be blogging about soon.

I found these wood crochet hooks at a local craft shop and the best part was that they were packaged in recycled cardboard, NO plastic!

I discovered I can get a lot of secondhand knitting/crochet supplies via eBay.

Also, checking local secondhand stores or Craigslist or Freecycle. Just a thought.

You’re right though. You don’t have to do it all at once!
