The What

The whole reason why I've started this new mission and blog to follow is to chronicle my life as I try to go plastic-lite and how I'm doing it.  Who knows, maybe I'll inspire others.  Maybe I'm just trying to entertain myself.  I mean, plastic-lite?  Really?  I'm using a plastic-encased computer to spur my plastic-hatred.

But let's go through what I've already done to reduce my level of plastic consumption:
* shopping bags (man, do I have a huge thing for shopping bags.  I collect them like baseball cards)
* cute reusable sandwich/ snack bags instead of the disposable ones
* reusable water bottles - no more buying bottled water!
* no more individually packaged snacks
* taking my own coffee cup to the coffee shops (did you know that those paper ones are lined with plastic?)

Now where do I go from here?  Well, since my rude awakening (two days ago), I've:
* switched to a stainless steel water bottle
* using bar soap instead of liquid/ bottled soap
* just purchased some adorable produce bags

Well, now what?  There are so many other plastic products floating around out there constantly exposing me to the ickiness.  Now it's the day-to-day search for ways to reduce the plastic in my life.  This is more daughting that I thought.
