Can you love without plastic?


This is a question I have been asking myself for sometime. The answer? Fully no.

But there are a lot of things I can do to reduce my plastic consumption.

So here is my vow, I will limit my plastic consumption.

I have decided to join the ranks of a few and live an entire month with NO PLASTIC. That month is February.

Yes, I realize I am a cop out to make this pledge in August when February is six months away. But I feel that plastic consumption is an addiction. In this era of convenience packaging and need it now behavior it is going to take sometime to build up to plastic free.

So baby steps.

My goal for August: Just say no to plastic bags. I will go one month without bringing a single plastic shopping bag home with me. I think this will be tougher than it sounds. But I am up for it.

I hope by February to 10,000 people on board, again a daunting task. But I am up for the challenge.

Will you join me?
