The Unplastic Life: Festivals
http://theunplasticlife.blogspot.com/2009/06/festivals.html
The Need for and Challenges of Reducing Plastic. Monday, June 15, 2009. Summer is a time for festivals, and DC hosts one almost every weekend. This weekend, for example, was Pride. The Folklife Festival is coming up. And I'm sure we'll be celebrating almost everything under the sun, week by week. Festivals are plastic nightmares. Or, better yet, canvas? Or canvas made of recycled plastic? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Moby Dick is no Friend to the Plastic Dieter. Subscribe to this blog. Fcil de cal...

The Unplastic Life: Nightmare
http://theunplasticlife.blogspot.com/2009/05/nightmare.html
The Need for and Challenges of Reducing Plastic. Saturday, May 30, 2009. You know you're a plastic blogger when. You wake up in a cold sweat after a dream about plastic. Yup, my nightmares apparently now involve walking down the street holding not one but TWO one-time-use plastic cups. With lids. And straws. Now, although this was an unpleasant dream, there is a HIGH probability I would have just gone on sleeping if someone had not decided that 7 am on Saturday is an appropriate time to jackhammer.

The Unplastic Life: Not Me! Monday
http://theunplasticlife.blogspot.com/2009/06/not-me-monday.html
The Need for and Challenges of Reducing Plastic. Monday, June 1, 2009. If I work quickly, I just might get this up while it's still Monday. Although, I've clearly not let that stop me in the past. So, what did I NOT do this week? Some of these are plastic-related and some, well, not so much. I definitely did not use the word "flummoxed" in regular conversation. And I certainly was not so flummoxed that I could literally think of no other words. Monday" second. Nope. Not at all. Not me! Fcil de calor - Ca...

The Unplastic Life: Blueberry Muffins!
http://theunplasticlife.blogspot.com/2009/06/blueberry-muffins.html
The Need for and Challenges of Reducing Plastic. Monday, June 15, 2009. Tonight, after dinner, I was craving something more. You know, preferrably something a little sweet but not too heavy. I opened the pantry and saw an extra pack of blueberry muffins! I made some last week and forgot that I bought two of the mixes. I was definitely the happiest person ever! I made myself (and my roommate) a delicious treat:. And this was the only packaging:. Do you have a favorite low-plastic treat?

The Need for and Challenges of Reducing Plastic. Monday, July 13, 2009. This will be fun! I haven't "Not Me! I certainly DIDN'T stay in bed the whole weekend (in fairness, I was sick.and I managed not to use any plastic while sick.unless you count the Tylenol bottle. Why does ALL medicine come in plastic? I mean, I do have the special dispensation for medical plastic, but what ever happened to the good old glass medical jar? Labels: Not Me Monday. Andwe will be home doing nothing on the 25th!

The Unplastic Life: Rain
http://theunplasticlife.blogspot.com/2009/06/rain.html
The Need for and Challenges of Reducing Plastic. Friday, June 12, 2009. It's rained here pretty much every day this week. Rain always makes me think about plastic. And how sometimes I do like it. Seriously, a paper umbrella wouldn't work very well. A glass rain coat? No, thanks, I'll take Gore-Tex(r), please! That stuff is pretty amazing. Afterall, this was never an all out ban on plastic. Just an effort to reduce unnecessary one-time-use plastic. Maybe this is the exception that proves the rule.

The Unplastic Life: The Real World
http://theunplasticlife.blogspot.com/2009/06/real-world.html
The Need for and Challenges of Reducing Plastic. Sunday, June 7, 2009. Accordingly, I have to take some of my anti-plastic accouterments with me to this new office. I want to take silverware, but I'm pretty sure those won't pass the metal detectors. So I'm taking plastic silverware (washed and reused from some previous event . don't worry, we don't buy that stuff). I always take a bowl to work. Plus I'll have my fold-up reusable bag with me (love that thing! I think I'm set. Off to work!

The Unplastic Life: Recycling in Athens
http://theunplasticlife.blogspot.com/2009/05/recycling-in-athens.html
The Need for and Challenges of Reducing Plastic. Tuesday, May 19, 2009. I'm in Athens, where plastic does abound. More on that later. However, I do have good news about recycling. Athenians have these lovely recycling centers around the city. It seems like they get paid for this recycling. LOVE IT! We had a great evening last night with delicious Greek food at a taverna just under the Acropolis. It was beautiful! We're off to explore now, but I'll update when I can (or when I get back).
