http://myplasticfreelife.com/showyourplastic/2012/12/plastic-challenge-v-week-1/ 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?

Welcome to the challenge.  To answer your question about deli foods, can you let me know specifically what kinds of foods you are talking about?  Maybe I can help you find alternatives.  HAve you tried bringing your own containers?  Also, check out my plastic-free guide for lots of tips.  http://myplasticfreelife.com/plasticfreeguide/  Cheers!
