Comments on: Plastic Challenge: Becca Ryals and Gordon Bennett, Week 5 http://myplasticfreelife.com/showyourplastic/2011/03/plastic-challenge-becca-ryals-and-gordon-bennett-week-5/ 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?

Unfortunately for us, we have to do all our dish washing by hand. We’ll give baking soda a try.

They are great. I sent some to my mom and my sister in law to test them out. My mom is a super clean freak, and my sister in law and brother have two young kids. I figured they truly test soap nuts. For us, they work wonderfully.

What do you use for dish soap?

Yep, just sprinkle it on. It works.
