One of the animals most greatly affected by plasic in the ocean is the Albatross.

Facts about Bottled Water

I stumbled across this great diagram about bottled water. It is a huge part of the plastic problem.

More Water Fountains

We need more water fountains like this one. Thanks Susan Dominus from the NYT.

Long time no blog, I know. Just in the supermarket buying some things. While I know it is nearly impossible to avoid things plastic, here are some things to look out for;

Juices. Man are they all in plastic bottle? Well, no not all. There are many that come in glass.

But what jolted me back into this blog was the tea bags. No, not the tea baggers, but the tea bags sold by companies like Celestial Seasonings. They wrap there box in plastic. Talk about redundancy. Others however, like Bigelow use only a non-plastic box.

So keep an eye out in the supermarket for the big, (juice) and small (tea).

No Plastic wrap
