Take the Plastic-Free February Challenge

Feeling up for a challenge this month? Rodale is sponsoring Plastic-free February, a campaign to bring awareness to that ubiquitous concoction of chemicals, its impacts on us and others, and the many alternatives we can choose instead.

Here are the rules:

1. No buying or acquiring new plastic.

2. No cooking with plastic or storing food in plastic.

3. Minimize all other plastic use.

Several bloggers will be participating and blogging about their experiences.

If you want to take up the no-plastic gauntlet, check out Beth Terry's terrific list of more than 80 suggestions for decreasing your dependence on plastic.
