I watched this interesting video about the issue of how to get rid of plastic and thought others might be interested:



I may have missed it, but the one thing that people still don't seem to be taking seriously is the concept of, "just use less". Plastic has some wonderful properties, but let's save it for the places where it shines, and use other options wherever we can!

The " Just Use Less" admonishment in Jay's previous post has also been one of my favorite expressions regarding the problems we face with pollution and environmental degradation. Seeing that phrase in Jay's post inspired the topic in the homestead forum, of the same title.
Thanks Jay!
