Comments on: Plastic Challenge: Sabrina B, Week 4 http://myplasticfreelife.com/showyourplastic/2011/05/plastic-challenge-sabrina-b-week-4/ 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?

Yes, the natracare packaging AND product are all compostable. No plastic.

As for avoiding plastic on vacation, I’ve written several posts. Here is my most recent one:

It’s good to know they are wrapped in paper. Thanks Maddie!!!

You could try a menstrual cup which would save you a lot of money. (Diva Cup, The Keeper), or reusable menstrual pads. I am pretty sure Beth Terry has written posts on this.
