Plastic is a bummer and even worse, a catastrophe! I read this article and I think everyone should read it!
"A vast swath of the Pacific, twice the size of Texas, is full of a plastic stew that is entering the food chain. Scientists say these toxins are causing obesity, infertility...and worse."
(this poor bird & turtle are just small samples of the truth) And I think that we should all be more cautious regarding our choices! Think before you buy! Buy handmade! Buy recycled, second-hand, etc. What are you going to put your purchases in? (Answer: not a plastic bag) My new goals 1.) serious thought before I purchase: Do I really, really need it? Can I live without it? What will happen to it after I am not able to use it any longer? What happens if it breaks? Is it fixable? What would happen to it if it goes into a landfill? So much to think about regarding money spending. Also, remember to vote with your money! Buy US made as much as possible. Etc, I could go on forever. 2.) I am going to reuse/recycle with the best of them. Check out this rad blog that I found regarding making very functional items from plastic bags. I am going to have to give it a try, I will let you know how it works out! Her blog also has lots of great links!Think of the future! It's not too late to help it out!
