Oregon for Earth

The meat I was buying came in polystyrene, and starting this month I've been buying meat that has the least amount of plastic wrap and NO polystyrene. Once I am more financially stable, I plan to begin buying ALL of my meat straight from the deli, or a butchery, and bringing my own containers for that.  As for polyvinyl, I've bought nothing...

I couldn't find a documentary on Netflix about waste, but I did watch one about the Scottish wild cat and the efforts going towards preventing its extinction. 

The added benefits are being able to keep wet materials out of my general trash which means I do not need to use plastic trash bags. 

We still have small businesses using plastic bags, and lots and lots of plastic that is grade 3 or lower with no accountability for those who manufacture them. 

Wow!! Here I was thinking I was a plastic free champ D: time to work work work to reduce even more.

Bamboo toothbrushes are more sustainable than plastic. While it leaves me concerned about our nice pandas since they rely on bamboo, efforts to protect pandas have increased exponentially so I believe it will be okay. I would like to see toothbrushes made out of more sustainable options, but this will do.  I will implore others in my community...

I learned today that I can compost my cat's litter which is made with recycled corn kernels. Now I just need to go make or buy a composter! I am excited.
