Avoiding Plastics and Single-Use Items (packaging)
#27
Quote by Laughing__Girl "One thing I would love to see is huge vats of shampoo, soap, etc at a store that you could take and fill your own containers and get charged by weight/volume."

This is exactly one of the things I have been referring to. What do you do? Stop shampooing? Vitamins and supplements are another thing. It's not like there is a bulk isle full of pills you can scoop up. Any mouthwash users?

Carey - excellent points in your post as well. We went to the store this weekend with this in mind and it was a bit depressing to be honest. We did buy half gallon milk cartons instead of the gallon plastic ones we have been buying. But we wonder if buying smaller packages is not a problem in itself and these cartons are coated in plastic I assume. I need to research it I guess. It is also a lot more expensive buying the half gallon cartons versus the gallon plastic ones. Sigh...

Which brings us to an EIS. It would make choosing products a lot easier if they were done in a way that made sense to people. I think people for the most part are making good use of the nutritional labels.
