    I am more aware of even taking communal food if it's wrapped in plastic.  #freefoodisntfree

    I'm really slacking at checking-in, but i promise i am keeping up.  Mindfulness toward plastic use is a fulltime job, and complacency is always at the door (especially when you feel overwhelmed).

    I missed a check-in yesterday, but i went to Rollin Oats.  They have a dry bulk area, but you have to use their bags.  Still a lot of plastic, though i did find liquid detergent in a paper bottle/carton.

    Learning more and more every day.  I still use 20-40lbs of one-time use plastics (regardless of how/when I dispose of it in recycling or trash).  I can do better.

    Do some research on polystyrene and polyvinyl. How many items in your house already contain these toxins?

    I have never read so many labels in my life.  I have plenty of PVC in my home, but it is important about how to properly dispose of these semi-immortal materials should the need arise.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Pets Pet Waste
    By composting your pet waste, you are turning waste into nutrients to feed the soil. In what other ways can you turn waste into a resource in your life?

    It's not as hard as you'd think.  I still at least try to dispose of it properly in trash (which is incinerated for energy), but more actions can be learned.

    What did you find out about your plastic consumption by using the calculator? What did or didn't surprise you?

    For some reason, the provided link didn't work, but I found another calculator here:
    https://www.omnicalculator.com/ecology/plastic-footprint

    Estimating High, I still produce ~30lbs of plastic waste (trash/recyclables) a year.  I can do better.  That's not including plastic waste from chemicals, fibers, or linings from other waste (paper-ware and aluminum cans).
