A  Thousand THANK YOUs! 
for your help with A WWII SAGA reaching its
2ND PRINTING!

Please enjoy my gift to you of two-months of testing plastic-free household practices to transition to a
PLASTIC-FREE HOME with ideas to reduce shipping weight and thus, carbon
emissions.  
Let's contribute to the Climate Summit: COP 26 conversations with these holiday gift ideas.


Twelve ways to Reduce your Plastic Use and Carbon emissions

Plastics is [NOT] the Future.
   
Wooden brushes, soap bars and concentrates and detergent without bottles reduces plastic bottles and carbon emissions by not shipping water.
 
Why reduce Plastics?

Soon there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean.
Micro-Plastic is in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and
in the farmland growing our food. 
32% of the 78 tons of plastic produce annually flows into oceans.
American purchase 50 billion water bottles & 4 trillion plastic bags every year.
25 billion Styrofoam cups, annually tossed out, will be in landfills 500 years from now.
Over 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic are in our oceans in 2021.


Reuse plastic waste to label and store food.
