I do so much of this already that doing more is hard, but I have been working at it. I am encouraged that Costco is making some efforts, but not nearly enough. (see M&M comment). I bought a swimming suit that came on a cardboard hanger (larger than necessary) instead of plastic as in the the past.

I did something I really didn't want to do this week: I bought peanut M&Ms at Costco at the pleading of my husband. They come in a really nice heavy plastic container. (They do make very nice canisters, but how many such containers does anyone need) Why? We don't know. Other stores sell M&Ms in plastic bags. They are actually more...

Missy and I went to the Plastic Free sponsored film at the Ridgedale Library on Saturday. It was excellent and was somewhat hopeful and not just depressing. It was great to see lots of young people getting involved and trying new things and developing new things to help us with our plastic problem.

I have quite a few Ziplock bags to use up (I reuse many of them) and misc plastic containers (also reuse), but do plan to buy some more glass containers as the plastic ones are not good for reheating food.

My biggest use of single use plastic (other than the broccoli) tends to be meat which is hard to avoid. Seems like I need a different store for some of this stuff

Brought broccoli which was heavily packaged. Frustrating. All the packaging certainly isn't serving me. Aldi's??

I already do many of these things.

Some things are going to be harder than I thought
