I meant to have this picture in my previous discussion and am not sure they or it is going to show up on here. These are pictures of the trash liners I have created which will soon be for same in the Zoobird Store and elsewhere. This is my small contribution to helping with the problem of too much plastic in our landfills. I have used these for one year with no signs of wear. They are washable and reusable and very durable.

I am fairly new to the Zooish way of life. I have been recycling for years just like the next person. I have been doing my duties to separate my trash from my recyclable items but I am looking for more ways to make a bigger impact. I just finished reading a book on composting and have a small heap started in my apartment. I would love to hear information and discussions on alternative energy and organic living. I also did not see the picture you posted of your of the trash liners. I am currently using paper to avoid the plastic.

Thanks for the invite Ellen. I am interested in sustainable living as a means of becoming more independent and preserving a healthy environment for our kids. At the moment, I am working on a sheet composted(lasagna) garden in the backyard, and I've been promised the opportunity to attend a rain-barrel workshop for my birthday. Also, I am learning how to can fruits, vegetables, and whole meals. I'm kinda stumped on the plasic thing. It is next to impossible to avoid purchasing something with plastic with in my neck of the woods every shopping trip, but I know that a large portion of it is getting dumped into our oceans and not recycled. I would love some suggestions on how to slowly drop out of that wasteful cycle as much as possible.
