Connie Peterson 7/20/2023 2:21 PMI went on my plastic rampage in April. I went into every cabinet and made notes of my worst offenders... under my sink: hand soap, dish soap, soft scrub. In my laundry cabinet: laundry soap, fabric softener, bleach. I my cleaning cabinet: windex, spray cleaners, floor cleaners, wood cleaners etc. I searched "zero waste", "plastic free". Lots of those stores are very niche and quite expensive. I found one store that had EVERY thing I needed to replace my biggest offenders. I set up an account with my email and instantly they added lots of FREE products to my cart. I built my cart from there. IMPORTANT: I unchecked "subscribe" from each product in my cart so I pick and choose what ships when I want it. The initial expense was a bit high but it was the reusable glass dispensers and gass sprayers that will not replace. I have been using the product concentrates (add water) since May 1st.... I still don't need a thing! No shopping, no driving, no hunting out stores required. They even send prepaid postage label to return the little glass bottles for reuse. Good Luck! You got this! -
Susan Rubin 7/20/2023 5:53 AMAs consumers we need to get these companies to switch from plastic to aluminum and other materials to package our food, health & beauty items and pet essentials.

Tim Curtis 7/01/2023 9:24 AMWhen I walk the beach in Puerto Penasco, I always carry a bag to collect plastic waste. I also collect plastic when I walk the forests of Flagstaff.
