I’m admitting my age but it’s still tempting to use Tupperware! Will gradually pare back. Tossed more deli plastic containers today.

Linda's actions
At Home
Choose Natural Clothing Fibers
I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, acrylic or spandex. Try prioritizing buying used clothing before buying new.
Food
Skip Single-Use Plastic for Freezing Food
I will use reusable containers when freezing food and opt for glass or metal when purchasing new containers.
Plastics 101
Recycle Plastic Caps
I will recycle 1 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

Linda Gau 2/15/2026 11:33 AMI’m in a book club with dear friends who enjoy reading. Because they’re up on new titles, many of these bestseller books are unavailable. I’d like to combine walking and listening. What’s your favorite source for ordering these titles? -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAt HomeWhat are the benefits (to people, animals, and the environment) of purchasing clothes made with natural fibers?
Linda Gau 2/15/2026 11:14 AMThere are so many unnatural fibers in our environment. Natural fibers cut down on some of the harm we do.-

Linda Gau 2/15/2026 10:38 AMI found an awesome clear shoe polish that will allow me to keep two pair of shoes that needed refurbishing. So nice to not need to buy something that may include plastics. -
Linda Gau 2/15/2026 10:34 AMI will give up precooked hardboiled eggs because the plastic bag they come in is multi-layered and cannot be recycled. Plus eggs are cheaper this way. -
