I read “Alternatives to Plastic” sometime in 2006 and immediately set about eliminating plastic from my life. It has been, by far, one of the most challenging goals I’ve ever set for myself. While I am a lot better now about avoiding plastic in my life than I was before, it still has a way of creeping into my life. This goal has also made me feel…isolated. None of my friends are interesting in avoiding plastic. The local grocery store clerks look at me like I’m nuts when I tell them I’d like to bag my own grocery in my own bag. So when I found Enviro-Woman’s blog, I was thrilled. While her goal seems to be directed toward removing plastic from her life in 2007, I hope she will continue the project and her blog when 2008 comes around. Below are the posts I’ve bookmarked from her blog:

* Plastics 101: Part 1, Bad Witch, Good Witch
* Plastic free: Trash Bags
* Brain Food: Plastic Ocean
* Plastic free: Pens
* Plastic free: Toothpaste
* Plastic free: MASCARA
