Today I’m starting something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
I have been “plastic-free-curious” for over a year but I have not acted on it because it’s so overwhelming to think about how drastic of a lifestyle change it would be to eliminate plastic 💯 percent. What I’ve realized is that I might never be 💯 percent plastic free but I’d like to see how close I can get... and I’d like to do it gradually and share the process along the way. I’d like to become semi-plastic-free.
Step #1 is going to be to keep a plastic diary, where I can start to record my plastic consumption and catalog a solution to each instance of plastic consumption.
Step #2 will be taking action on those changes incrementally.
The first two entries to “things I love that come wrapped in plastic” include the moleskin journal I’m using for the project and my favorite Faber Castell ink pens I used to make the first entry. Yikes... I feel surrounded in plastic immediately, but I’m up for this challenge. Let me know if following along with this sort of thing interests you. I really want to use this project to inspire others to take action as well.
