One thing no one mentions about shopping during Plastic Free July is how many JARS you might end up with! Glass jars are a great alternative to plastic packaging, as glass and metal are more easily recyclable materials, but before you get rid of those jars, a better alternative is to reuse them.

Hi All! You may have noticed we haven’t posted in a few days, and well, we have been under the weather. 🤧 We suspect a few of you out there might feel the same, since there is quite a bit going around.

As labor day approaches, let’s talk parties this Trash Talk Tuesday! 🎉 It’s hard to imagine a party these days without imagining the clean-up scene that follows: the typical plastic garbage bag, being filled with plastic red solo cups, plastic cutlery, plastic tablecloths, and plastic plates, while someone in the background is sweeping up plastic glitter, plastic ribbon cuttings, and pulling off plastic tape. That is so. Much. Plastic!
