Plastics Gone Forever....

Did you know you can buy butter in bulk? The Earth Balance, which is made from vegetable oils, I do believe....so it's the dairy-free 'butter'...anyhow - save your yogurt containers!!

Plastics Away...

In my continual quest to reduce my use of plastics, so at least I can feel I am doing SOMETHING for this enormous planet problem:
Looked up the floating island of plastic in the ocean yesterday.
Found out about this wonderful woman: Roz Savage (www.rozsavage.com)
Realized I can buy cat food in bulk, because the cat food bags are lined with plastic.
Last week I froze my raspberries in glass jars for the first time (used to use ziplock bags)
I found out there is a home device that will suck the air out of the jars for freezing....
Realized this morning that I can probably get shampoo in bulk, so looking forward to that, when this bottle is empty - didn't really realize that I have been putting those onto the planet.

Does anyone know if there is a plastics recycling place in Portland?

Going back to work...

Job INTERVIEW next week!! No kidding! YIPPEE!!
