I just posted a new link to a great website that I got from a friends facebook profile. It has tons of information about the evil's of plastic and about alternatives to plastic. Check it out! http://www.mindfully.org/Plastic/plastic.htm
Here is a note I got off one of the articles:
"mindfully.org note:
We feel that participating in curbside recycling is absolutely required, however, one should be aware of the fact that plastic is not truly recycled. It's only used a few more times, if at all, before being discarded, possibly by being shipped to countries that are not as developed as the US that are so desperate for cash that they will take our garbage. The real solution to the plastic problem is to stop using it whenever possible. It's toxic and unhealthy for all living things and never goes away. "
So true!

Your right recycling is not the answer to our plastic problem. Unfortunitly so much of our recycling travels across the ocean to China or Japan, where they melt it down and make new items. The problem is the conditions are deplorable and even young children are subjected to the toxic fumes that are the result of the recycling process.
The best thing is to reduce your consumption of plastic completely. I try to live plastic free/less...follow my journey. www.lowimpacthome.org
