From June 11 through June 30, the challenge is to avoid consuming things that are made to be disposable, especially after one-time use. The goal is to raise awareness, to discover alternatives and to learn from each other.
The point is not to become an ascetic. We simply have to figure out a way to live in the world without polluting it. The world's closets are becoming less spacious.
This could mean giving something up in favor of a sustainable alternative. It could mean writing companies that produce wonderful products whose packaging feeds the great pacific garbage dump. What if everyone did this?
Will you join the challenge?
I'm in!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adam! It's good to have company in this!
ReplyDeleteYou know in Britain they priced items by the weight and so people would remove items from the packaging in the store and eventually manufacturers stopped using packaging. Tax what you want to get rid of.
ReplyDeleteJennifer - great idea! Let's have a letter writing campaign!
