Plastic is so much a part of our lives. Just as it's important to know where your food is from (and what it's made of), it's also important to know where your trash goes (and what it's made of). So good luck and hopefully this becomes second nature to you. This month (and hopefully this becomes habit) the challenge is to cut out one type of plastic regularly used. It could be no more plastic bags from the grocery store, no plastic water bottles, or any of the suggestions below. What do you do with your plastic? BETTER: Reusing it. Upcycling is using the plastic for other purposes than it was originally intended. More and more people are doing this within their homes and communities. A larger scale example is www.terracycle.net Or simply reusing an item. For example: refilling the plastic water bottles you already own.
