Eliminating plastic from our lives...one week at a time.
It's Week Four!
Whoa! I blogged a bit about my Week Four pledge here. How about you? What are you ditching this week?

Wow Sasha, giving up THAT would be tough. THAT kept me from going vegan. THAT is my true guilty pleasure - my solace in troubled times. I don't know if I could give up THAT. I salute you!
This week, I cancelled my newspaper deliveries. We used to get two papers every day each wrapped in plastic bags (two when it rained). We will now buy from the stand at the train station. From the first week's trend, I'm guessing that this move will also reduce our net consumption of newspapers, since we are not buying two papers every day. Full disclosure - I kept one of the Sunday deliveries. Our Sunday morning rituals have evolved around the Sunday paper, and I do want to stay happily married. Net though, we will be eliminating 12-15 plastic bags each week.
Bonus - My son is at university. He brought his Klean Kanteen to campus, and has now sold several of his friends on the idea of renouncing plastic water bottles.
