Boycott products that come in plastic containers-especially those that cannot be recycled.

I've been an advocate of reducing plastic consumption for quite some time now and my kids are too. We've taken it a step further, replace Tupperware with Pyrex, use ceramic dishes and cookware, be mindful of how a product is packaged. And most of all be aware of the toys you are giving your children to play with, this issue goes beyond visible pollution. You and I are ingesting plastics daily with side effects such obesity, cancer and reproductive disruption. I could go on and on, instead I encourage you to educate yourselves, here's a great starting point http://www.algalita.org/research.html |

My family thinks I'm insane, with all the recycling rules I put into place in my house. From the lids of fast food drinks to the tiny plastic cups that instant lemonade comes in, I make sure that we recycle it ALL (we put out about 5 bins of recycling each week). And plastic bags? We have a very nice dispenser in our house where we put these bags after we come back from the store (though we make all attempts to get paper and/or use our own tote bags). We use the plastic bags over and over in the little trash buckets in each room in the house. When they have become "too" trashed to reuse, we dispose of them in accordance with local regulation (either in local trash pickup or @ a local recycling station). Bottom line?? The oceans DO NOT need our trash. They have enough issues to deal with as is.

I use the reusable shopping bags, and let me tell you it would help it the STOREs were nicer when you use them, I HATE getting rude service or looks because I am taking too long saving our environment. They should be more than happy to use them for me, they should make the stores take part more, making their checkout lanes easier to use the bags. THEN MAYBE MORE PEOPLE WILL HELP! My family is always picking up trash from our local parks and surrounding waters whenever we see it. Who else can help our world and animals, after all we deff. are the ones destroying it. PLEASE EVERYONE> DO YOUR SHARE< IT WILL BE WORTH IT!!
