Comments on: Plastic Challenge: Beth Terry, Week 4 http://myplasticfreelife.com/showyourplastic/2012/02/plastic-challenge-beth-terry-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?

Yep the Virgin America headphones are in my suitcase for next time. As for milk, Straus is a local organic dairy farm I have visited. No hormones. But I do realize there are still plenty of issues with dairy. I really don’t know why I’m craving milk all of a sudden this year.

That’s what I try to do with things I don’t want to forget when I travel. So it does mean duplicates of some items (e.g., I keep a toiletry bag fully packed at all times), but it eliminates the kind of plastic purchases that happen when we need something right away and can’t make the deliberate purchase we’d normally make.

Any idea why you are feeling a need for animal milk? If it’s addiction to the casomorphins, I can say from personal experience that that goes away in a few weeks, and then you’re not exposing yourself to the hormones and animal proteins, with their attendant risks for human health.
