Excelsior Methodists Punt Plastics

Thanks for making this resource available. My efforts to reduce my plastic use will continue!

today I purchased a more expensive grocery product that came in glass instead of plastic so that the container can be more easily recycled when empty

I still feel bad reusing a plastic bag for trash. Problem is some compostable trash bags are flimsy and leak/break. I found that My Eco World bags from COSTCO are tough enough! I have to order them on line though, or go to the SLP Costco.

Talk about it. I bring at take home container when I go out, and I'm not shy about using it. Also if I forget and am offered a plastic non-recyclable container, I refuse it and explain why. O also carry a spork in my purse.

I have decided it is pretty much impossible to buy meat without plastic packaging. I need to find more more tasty meatless recipes.

I'm here to hear how to reduce my plastic use. Today's my first day!

Go Excelsior Methodists Punt Plastics! We are currently in 22nd place among the 238 teams participating in the plastic challenge! Not bad at all! Keep checking in on the challenge site as often as you can, and more importantly, keep learning about how to reduce your use of plastic.

Very well. I was always proficient with recycling before, so these aren't big changes for our household.

I've already been doing a lot of these steps but I'm newly making much more effort to compost soiled tissues and low grade cardboard like egg cartons and toilet paper cardboard rolls. we just had 2 dead trees felled and I had the arborist leave the wood chips so I avoid at least 20 plastic bags of mulch this Spring

glad to see that there are many things that I am already doing
