Comments on: Plastic Challenge: Rebecca M, Week 5 http://myplasticfreelife.com/showyourplastic/2011/03/plastic-challenge-rebecca-m-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?

I fear it may be years before I actually have to shop for another crystal rock deoderant since I still have a good quarter of this stick left (the part that fell out of the container) plus another square rock that I un-earthed inthe bathroom, which I think I bought about 20 years ago at a little hippie shop in Amhearst, MA. God knows if it was originally packaged or not!

The organic essence creams look great, but unfortunately I’m allergic to sunflower and they all seem to use sunflower oil. I think I’m gonna try making some since I’m allergic to so many herbs and seeds/nuts (aka oils) that it’s practically impossible for me to find anything “natural” that I can use.

Take Care,
XOXOXO
Rebecca

So far I have not found any crystal deodorant without a plastic dispenser or plastic packaging. If you find it, let me know!

I like organic essence had cream, which comes in a compostable cardboard container:

I use a safety razor, but I don’t have a lot of stuff “sticking out.” :-)

Rebecca, it has been such a pleasure having you participate. Your humor especially has been welcome. :-)
