That just seems like a lot of work to go through. I say just enjoy life and let the environment take care of itself. I don't like washing dishes so I use paper plates, plastic silverware, and paper cups. I never recycle. I go to the store a couple times a day and buy a candy bar. On the way home, I just toss the plastic bag they give me on the ground.
Beth you are my hero!! I wish more people could be like you and stop wasting so much! This is inspirational, I've made a few steps (i.e. reusable menstrual products, steel water bottles, reusable baggies, cloth shopping bags, etc) but I've still got a long way to go. Someday I hope to be nearly completely plastic free!!! :D
@iVideoful There's a difference between disposable, single-use plastic and durable plastic products. I have nothing against technology. But I do have a problem with indiscriminate overconsumption. In addition to not buying disposable plastic, I also don't buy new electronics. This computer is 5 years old (bought before I started this project) and I intend to use it and repair it until it's dead.
Hi Mcanski. Try the vendor called Greenfeet online. Search for "coconut coir" and you will see the scrubbers. I would copy the link here but I'm on my mobile phone and for some reason cannot copy into this comment.
im glad that you 'spell it out for us' on this video and actually tell us specifically how to use less, because the un-plastic-saavy, such as myself, would be lost.

I find it funny that she's using a computer to make all this "Plastic Resolution" bullshit.

Great video. What is a coconut scrubber? And can you suggest a place for me to purchase one? Thanks. Love your website, too.

Beanie, I think some of it was plastic I already had before 2007 that I saved, and some of it (bottles) I found in the street. :-)
