Plastic Challenge: Sandy, Week 7
The sandwich issue. We tried to get our deli to give us our sandwich stuff in paper like the butcher but weren’t quick enough and they put it all in seperate ziplock bags. Probably need to find another deli. Location:Mountain View, CA, California, United States

Plastic Challenge: Sandy, Week 6
Still struggling with the TP bags. When we considered the shipping cost and cardboard that would be required to buy non plastic packaged tp online it didn’t make sense. Wish there was someplace local but they’re even going to have to ship it in. I looked all over for antipersperant in a non plastic holder [...]

Made my sister luggage tags for her trip to Hawaii so I used the clear plastic from a takeout food carrier and some plastic from some electronics that we bought to make the clear part of the tag. Used recycled food [...]

Plastic Challenge: Sandy, Week 2
I’m confused by this eco-friendly bag wine. It says its more environmentally friendly because it replaces 2 glass bottles. Not so sure. Will be making some shopping bags for the family to save them from using plastics. I plan to line them with plastic tablecloths that I picked up at Goodwill. Does buying plastics and [...]

Plastic Challenge: Sandy, Week 1
I use the plastic take out trays from eating out for collection water under plant pots and for holding seedling boxes. I also noticed that the plastic bottles from Sobe drinks are kinda cool looking. I’m saving those to use to water indoor plants that are high up. Since you can squeeze them I think [...]

WEEK 2: I was on a medically necessary bland diet and prep for surgery. (All went well and I’m feeling GREAT now, BTW). Does anyone know of a homemade plastic-free alternative equivalent to Gatorade? Anything has got to taste better than that stuff! Location:Mystic, Connecticut, United States

Plastic Challenge: Kristin, Week 25
Toilet paper wrapping: I recall reading an article some time ago about ordering a giant amount of TP from amazon & having it shipped (seventh gen maybe?). I DO have a vehicle & drive it more than I’m proud of, so my TP does come from the grocery store which only offers plastic packaged options. [...]
