Comments on: Plastic Challenge: Bizz, Week 2 http://myplasticfreelife.com/showyourplastic/2011/04/plastic-challenge-bizz-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?

You said you have a hard time asking store clerks to take out your purchase once they’ve automatically put it in a plastic bag. I think most people feel embarrassed at first about asking for something different. I wrote a post on that topic a while back, and I think you might enjoy reading all the comments:

Also, just recently, there was a discussion about getting store clerks to do what you ask:

There was a big discussion on birth control sparked by another challenge participant who also included BC in her tallies. If you’re interested, you might want to chime in over there:
