Rockford Woman editor Jennie Pollock knows that we’re not going to transform our lifestyles overnight, but she looks for ways big and mostly small to protect our planet. Read about her experiences (she’s tried giving up plastic and meat, for example) and share your possible solutions here.

the bbc stole my idea

ok, just kidding, but that’s what one of my former co-workers, lil swanson, joked when she sent me a link to a bbc article in which the author is going a whole month without buying plastic.

she’s running into similar conundrums, so i enjoyed reading it. it doesn’t hurt that she uses british lingo like “nappies” and “pong” (which means “to stink,” but i won’t link because there are other meanings and even other slang words that may offend the light of heart).

reminder: the summary of my week without plastic is running in the aug. 22 issue (sept/oct) of rockford woman. more to come on that!
