Recent updates from this team-
July 18 at 6:01 PMI never really thought about how much my takeout habits affected the environment. I've recently started cooking more than eating takeout, but even with my lowered consumption the impact is enormous. I guess that's just even more incentive to cook more often.

July 10 at 9:47 AMCreative solutions is the only way to fix out current plastic pollution problem. The easiest or most obvious solutions to this problem will almost certainly involve drastic changes to our current life styles or have other effects that hurt the environment in different ways. Another way creative Solutions helps is that the plastic industry...

July 9 at 5:56 PMBeen using my own cup, been bringing in my own bag to the grocery store, and I've been bringing my own reusable food container to work!

July 6 at 6:26 PMI spent about 30 minutes talking with my sister about ideas to reduce waste in their new home.

July 2 at 7:56 PMI have to think some of the additional produce packaging is due to so many items no longer being local. The producer & retailer may be the real beneficiary in the packaging perhaps limiting damage during storage and shipping. Buying local at farmer's markets and such circumvents both of these problems and the produce is fresher and tastier.

July 2 at 7:51 PMI think the photos of ocean pollution and the solutions like plastic bank speak volumes.
-
July 2 at 7:50 PMThe little things add up. Whether the plastic straw, excess packaging, or not recycling each negative action has a magnified impact but so does each positive one. Many companies seem to have the environment on their radar and seem more open to ideas that are planet friendly than they may have been in the past.
