Text of the page (random words):
ostly and yes it will degrade a material slightly but why does that matter when recycled plastic goes into making other bottles trek decking flower pots and children toys items that do not need the best properties a big thing is garbage cans what alternative material will you use if you need a new garbage can outdoor ones you but all trash bags in for garbage men making a garbage can out of any time of metal would be ridiculous and making it out of wood would be heavy or are you just going to continue to use garbage bags which are made out of plastic i m sorry to inform you but plastic will not go anywhere it s versitile cheap and has a quick production when compared to glass paper and your stainless steel with the finding of the marcellus shale there will be enough petroleum to keep the plastic industry alive and kicking for years to come did you know that several types of bulletproof glass are actually made out of plastic that being polycarbonate bulletproof vests also include polycarbonate and kevlar bulletproof vests you know the ones protecting the men and women protecting this country s freedom so are you saying we should live without plastic so if this men and women need protection they shouldn t get it because plastic is bad clothes nylon and polyester those are plastic fibers so hopefully you don t ever buy clothes made from those materials automobiles hopefully y all only buy used cars because did you ever stop and think about how much plastic is in a car the dash interior door panels bumpers mirrors etc so here s a scenario you car gets a decent dent or underneath it starts to rust out what do you do leave it buy a new bumper which is plastic or use bondo or a similar product to patch it which is primarily polyester plastic is a huge part of the medical field many medical parts are made out of plastic because most of the parts are one time use due to sanitary issues so why do they choose plastic over another material because its more cost effective they can produce more of the component and use less energy making the same number of parts beth terry says december 26 2012 at 6 17 pm welcome please continue reading you ll see that i do use plastic but my goal is to reduce the amount of new plastic consumed in fact several of the steps on this page address what to do when you do need a plastic item all opinions as long as they are expressed in a thoughtful considerate manner are welcome on this site katies says january 2 2013 at 10 20 pm i m sorry to inform you but plastic will not go anywhere you know if you would have added the phrase little lady it would have been easier to see that you are mansplaining and hadn t really read most of the post hillcountryann says february 19 2013 at 3 36 pm i m not sure if this has been said but i m going to say it anyway you talk about all the important things that are made out of plastic medical supplies and bulletproof vests and that is exactly the point we have so many important and innovative uses for plastic and we waste this resource by doing things like filling it full of basically tap water and then throwing it away now that doesn t make sense to me zambooka says january 18 2014 at 5 46 am jere hi i actually agree with you i consider plastic to be precious and it should be used sparingly for things that matter even though it is a wonderful material and it has so many awesome uses it is terrible for the environment if we can cut down on single use disposable plastics i think this is beneficial for everyone i have cut down on these items a lot and i can tell you that my lifestyle hasn t changed a bit but my carbon footprint is significantly lighter leontion says november 4 2016 at 7 17 am indeed i would wish that plastic were the most expensive materiel on the planet so we would appreciate it for the uses it is really useful for instead of wasting it and poisoning ourselves and our ressources with it just because it is cheap the only reasons i don t wish it because it is a wishes don t change anything and b poor people all over the world depend on it torie says december 13 2012 at 8 32 pm sorry if i duplicate there are too many posts to read right now two ideas the crockpot lady makes yogurt in a slow cooker haven t tried it myself yet but i hope to i bought my guitar playing husband a pick punch it punches guitar picks from plastic credit cards and gift cards one punch within a circle of musical friends would be enough different weights of plastic suit different players saves the plastic from buying new picks from the store love your ideas and commitment thanks sam says december 12 2012 at 4 13 am hi i love this site after having recently moved from oahu i have regained my plight to stop wasting so much sadly on such a beautiful island the amount of extra waste is sickening styrofoam take out every where anyhow i truly love your site and feel that it is really a spiritual path it takes such dedication and commitment i was wondering about how you feel when eating out with others who don t share your philosophy i am normally pretty low key but the other day i was at the market and found myself a very heavy presence towards my brother and his girlfriend for drinking smoothes out of disposable plastic cups with plastic straws i had a hard time even being present with them i got so angry any tips beth terry says december 12 2012 at 7 18 am my strategy is to set an example for others with my actions and to explain to them kindly the choices i make i believe that people are basically good and just don t understand the consequences of their actions sometimes but nagging them doesn t help it often just makes people resentful cartridge shop says december 4 2012 at 12 21 pm i have used refillable ink cartridges in the past but they just are not nearly as effective and do not have the same quality are specialized printers for re filler cartridges significantly more effective at the moment to save the hassle i opt for the standardized printer thanks for the read kathy blackmore cartridge shop parastooparsa says november 30 2012 at 5 59 pm hi beth i also noticed you mentioned yogurt in your list because of the plastic container i found two options for that problem my family loves plain yogurt and i had to find a way 1 here in california i found saint benoit yogurt which is in returnable glass container it is a little pricey for the amount of yogurt we consume 2 make my own i made my own for a while but the results were very unpredictable it started to stress me out so i just invested in a yogurt maker and am waiting for it to arrive i buy organic milk in returnable glass so making yogurt will not generate any extra waste here is a link to the yogurt maker i ordered i made sure it comes with glass bottles not plastic as far as the actual machine goes i am afraid there is no other choice but plastic here is a link to the yogurt maker http thegreenminimalist blogspot com p the green minimalist store html i double checked the link and it links you to my store i am having a hard time linking it directly to only the yogurt maker sorry but please go to kitchen category and one of the last ones is the yogurt maker i also ordered extra glasses this one has an automatic shut off and has great ratings thank you beth for everything you are doing beth terry says november 30 2012 at 11 43 pm yes i think maybe the list is confusing i meant that i have given up yogurt packaged in plastic but not all yogurt in fact there is a link to my yogurt recipe on this page i actually use a thermos instead of a yogurt maker so i didn t have to buy anything new the only reason we don t buy st benoit is that my husband doesn t like full fat yogurt and that s all they make and since he s the main one who eats it here parastooparsa says december 1 2012 at 3 22 am thermos is a great idea i should have checked your recipe before ordering the yogurt maker i was so bad at making yogurt that my husband and kids gently and nicely asked me to stop making them lol i am going to go through your site more and dig in some more i just love it thank you beth janet says march 10 2014 at 2 55 am i tend to think about things for a lot of time before i try them and them take baby steps so i got a yogurt maker and it sat around for a long time i finally started using it and had good luck so then i decided to try making without the yogurt maker i have consistent results with the following i use a corning casserole dish on the stovetop and heat milk to 170 degrees milk from local dairy glass bottles i use full fat you can tell it s 170 degrees when the top develops a bit of a skin and looks kind of frothy while it is heating i put my starter out near the burner to warm it up a bit i do buy a small container of plain yogurt with active cultures approx once a month also while the milk is heating i preheat oven to lowest temp and then turn it back off and turn on the oven light once the milk has reached the 170 degrees remove from heat and let it cool back to about 100 degrees i then gently stir in 2 3 tablespoons of starter yogurt i also remove the skin from the top of the heated milk not sure if you have to but i find it gross place the casserole dish with heated milk into the oven the oven light will keep the oven at a nice temp for incubating the yogurt i leave it in there overnight in the morning i take it out give it a gentle stir and place in the refrigerator side notes i generally use 1 2 gallon of milk per batch i have a glass top stove my casserole dish has a smooth bottom which is safe for my stove top i love that i use the same dish for heating the milk incubating it to yogurt and then storing in the fridge i came up with this technique after perusing the techniques other people posted and kind of mixing and matching leontion says november 4 2016 at 7 21 am i m lucky i can get gorgeous organic yoghurt full fat or skimmed from my amap in reusable glass jars and bulk buy ayran from my local turkish restaurant yum christinaminniti says november 30 2012 at 5 45 pm hi beth thanks for this great list i work in climate change research and i m always looking for ways to reduce my waste but plastics can be so overwhelming it s helpful to a list of ideas i wouldn t have thought of and that have already been tested out i wanted to offer one thing to add to your list in the kitty section it s often really hard to find attractive looking cat scratchers in general much less eco friendly ones so i was really excited when i found the sky scratcher on etsy the designers use a central wooden post on which they stack floors of cardboard without any adhesives or added chemicals the floors can be replaced once they re worn out which means only replacing those specific sections rather than the whole scratcher check it out here http tinyurl com skyscratcher crazliblady says november 30 2012 at 10 47 pm christinaminniti hi christina i actually made my furballs a catch scratching post that they love scrap wood rope glue and a couple of screws i bought rope and scrap wood from the scrap wood pile at home depot a couple of pieces about 3 feet long and 2 inches wide we already had a couple of screws and wood glue at home in our toolkit it cost around 10 00 or so and a little bit of time it took awhile for the smell of the new wood and glue to disappear though until then the furballs would not touch it but now they use it regularly and with gusto beth terry says november 30 2012 at 11 37 pm this is fantastic i have emailed mike to find out when the empire state building model will be available i love that there isn t even any glue used in his products just wood and cardboard and that the pieces can be replaced really great i hope he can ship it without any plastic packaging beth terry says may 30 2015 at 4 54 pm unfortunately the skyscratcher didn t work for us after 2 1 2 years of trying to get our little fur balls to actually scratch it we finally gave up this weekend and gave it away to a friend luckily her cats took to it right away we should have given it away sooner beth terry says november 30 2012 at 1 45 am hi i would love to see your post but that link is not the public url but i think to the blogger post editor please do post the url cheers parastooparsa says november 30 2012 at 5 34 pm oops so sorry thanks for letting me know here it is http thegreenminimalist blogspot com 2012 10 plastic free freezer html beth terry says november 30 2012 at 11 44 pm thanks i left a comment on your blog post greg56 says november 27 2012 at 8 50 pm i was going to ramble on about how stupid this article was about how chemicals from plastics can only leach from the material when its a molten liquid how its actually more environmentally friendly to make and transport plastic bags vs paper bags and about how outdated some of this material you base these facts on actually are rather i ll just laugh to myself and know that the dumb preach to the uninformed nutitout says november 29 2012 at 2 44 pm obviously you have no sense of smell beth terry says november 30 2012 at 1 54 am i guess you haven t read the studies that show chemicals leaching from plastic containers and you haven t read my blog because you would know that i don t advocate any kind of disposable bag paper or plastic crazliblady says november 30 2012 at 10 55 pm greg56 well if you don t agree with this viewpoint why are you even on this website reading this blog go find another blog to read there are plenty out there with other facts and viewpoints for you to read and complain about parastooparsa says december 1 2012 at 9 12 am making the plastic bag is half the story disposing of it is the other half that most of us are having a problem with at least paper is from nature and goes back to nature but plastic is never going anywhere some other problems i personally have with plastic is 1 is oil base it means the wars over the oil will be a never ending story 2 making it creates a huge amount of pollution 3 because it is so cheap people will buy more and more junk and this buying habit causes many problems like debt lack of savings cluttered homes stress 4 even if you recycle it the pollution and transportation for recycling are very hazardous for the environment why not get rid of it all together to me using plastic looks like a bad decision that is not worthed also please see the movie bag it there are tons of information there good luck jere says december 22 2012 at 9 13 am your first statement may in fact be partially true however the discovery of the marcellus shale in pa would be natural gas that could be used to create the plastic so we would have less dependency on foreign countries making plastic doesn t create a huge amount of pollution the machines used to make plastic parts bags etc run on electricity how is that pollution that would be like saying turning the lights on in your house is pollution you can t say plastic is bad it s the choices people make that give something a reputation...
