Good news Margaret! Today I found rechargeable batteries without ANY plastic! Rayovac has 4-pack AA in 100% cardboard pack. I found them at WalMart.

Hi Margaret, I am glad to see you staying the course. Getting what is nearby and/or convenient is not always a healthy choice…for us OR the environment. Keep up the good work!

I hadn’t thought about “supplement” herbs in bulk! Herbs are available in bulk at several stores I go to; I was already planning to get those as I run out of kitchen herbs (it takes me about 10 years or so to get through a jar). Another one of those Duh moments.

Margaret, can you get herbs in bulk without plastic? If so, there are some great ones for sleep. Valerian works really well for me. Hops too. Chamomile is relaxing. You can also find some supplements in glass bottles, although I haven’t seen melatonin in glass. And I do understand how well that stuff works!
