100 posts!


I can't believe this is my 100th post. It seems like just yesterday that I was so shocked by the amount of plastic bags people were mindlessly using at the grocery store and decided to start a hashtag to help bring awareness (#skipthebag).

From there it morphed into a blog where I could help educate and show people there were other options. I was in a unique situation because I had just moved from a place that had banned plastic bags. However I soon learned that in Florida those bans are illegal which make the decision to refuse plastic bags all that more important. The environmental harms from plastic bags lent its way to reassessing the use of plastic in all corners of my life and eventually to all waste.

Concurrent to this Hubby and I got settled in our new house where we decided to plant a garden and raise chickens. I've learned so much in the past 8 months and I can only imagine how this blog and the readers of it will help push me in directions I can't even foresee.

So if you've been here from the beginning, or are just jumping in, thank you!

I try to cross post, but if you aren't following on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram you are missing some of the things I find interesting.

  2. That is fabulous and well done! I am just putting together a good environmental news blog post which includes a story on how. in the 6 months after the UK banned plastic bags in supermarkets, in England alone the major supermarkets used 640 million fewer bags!
