Cindy Ulshafer 7/18/2019 11:27 AMNational Night Out is coming August 6. What a great time to discuss plastics! For those who don't know what NNO is, think of it as a very informal chance to get acquainted with neighbors to support neighborhood safety and communication. (You can also do a search for more info.) At our first annual NNO, we invited neighbors to bring a snack and hang out and chat. Some had NEVER met their neighbors two doors away! It built great community. Last year, after the college I work for presented a recycling demo, full of good info, I wrote up a guide that matches our local recycling service and handed it out to our neighbors at NNO. This year, I hope to share more about reducing plastic. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONPersonal Care Tim Taylor Your Beauty ProductsHomemade makeup is a practice which has been done in community for thousands of centuries as many indigenous women relied on plants for their bright make up. How can you incorporate that sense of community as you embark on a similar pursuit?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Cook a Zero-Plastic Waste MealDo an inventory of your kitchen to see how many single-use plastics you've used in the past. What are some resuable alternatives to these commonly used products? What would your impact be if you switched all the single-use products from your inventory to reusable?
Cindy Ulshafer 7/18/2019 10:34 AMWe use very little plastic flatwsre or eating utensils. If I need to use plastic flatware, I wash the items in the dishwasher for reuse. I use mostly silicone, wooden, or stainless cooking utensils.
