Mar. 14, 2009 - An Ocean of Plastic

Typically, it takes a lot to shock me. I've walked through this life thinking that I was pretty aware of the world around me. What I saw in this video completely shattered that illusion!

 I am utterly gobsmacked! I've noticed just how much 'stuff' we put out in our recycling bin every week, and the amount seems to grow on an ongoing basis. This video makes me believe that the secret is not in recycling, but in not using the stuff in the first place.

So, what can one household do? Well, for starters, perhaps frequenting the bulk store will help, as we won't be buying all that packaging. I'm not sure what else. I'd love to hear your suggestions please.

I did find some tips at this web site - http://BestGreenHomeTips.com
