Plastic Challenge: Margaret, Week 43

How to reduce waste when you’re super super busy.

Do you know any charities that by default don’t put you on a mailing list when you donate? I’d like to support such organizations if they exist.

Something comparable to emergen-c or airborne to boost immune system. My understanding is that the liquid form is absorbed better? which is why I buy these sometimes instead of just a multi-vitamin.

Plastic Challenge: maureen, Week 1

I live about 1/2 hr from a food co-op and other groceries, and 1 mile to the nearest bus stop. I’ve reduced my intake of plastic, but I’m challenged by buying larger quantities of bulk.
