It is International Plastic Free Day!



International Plastic Free Day is a call to action and brings attention to the plastic we use every day. On May 25th, commit to using no single-use plastic for one day (including bottles, take-out food containers, utensils, bags and wrappers.)

I was just this morning reading about how bad flexible garden plastics are for our health and wondering about my options. I've been planning for a high-tunnel so I can better grow chiles in my extreme climate, but I might instead cobble something smaller together out of used windows and stuff.
 
please buy my thing and then I'll have more money:
