Hello everyone, I decided to give it another try. I really believe in this website, and I enjoy researching and posting. A very nice friend and Colleague, Becca volunteered her time to update the look a little bit and make it a bit more accessible/easier to find on the internet so hopefully I will have a bit more traffic. Please, if you feel inclined, share the site with anyone who might be interested. That is the way to spread the…
A while ago I stated I was not going to give up my website, but I have changed my mind. I do not feel that my website, as much as I like it is making a meaningful difference. So I have decided to stop posting on it (but not giving up on the name yet) I bought the book that I mentioned in my last post and I intend to use it and do what I can in my little…
I am going to take a good look at this book and see where I can make a difference 🙂 and one for the locals:
How are you? How have you been? I have not been too active on my site, I felt it was not really useful. I have taken on myself a good share of the suggestions I posted over the last 2 years (not all, some I tried and did not like) but overall the response to the site was enthusiastic but still very minimal. But I don’t want to give up. The latest report of the UN about the state of…

I thought it would be good to start the new year with a bit of a summary of some of the resources that have been mentioned so far. So… If you are looking for plastic alternatives go to https://anythingicandowecandobetter.com/there-are-so-many-other-choices-out-there-these-days-to-replace-plastic/ If you are looking for a way to plant trees while googling on your computer go to https://anythingicandowecandobetter.com/trees-trees-everywhere/ if you are looking for ways to reduce/reuse./recycle or upcycle go to https://anythingicandowecandobetter.com/reduce-reuse-recycle/ If you are interested in any creative way to reuse…
I am still getting junk mail, despite the paper karma app…. They did say it would take a couple of weeks so if I see a decline I will report it. I have used a few cotton q-tips still but I have used the other ones too. I have tried to make Ecosia my default search engine, (every search helps to plant trees) but the instructions did not result in a different default page. So I type it in, when…
another piece of plastic made abundant and unnecessary. Time and again I am struck by these small innovative companies, how they all have a similar frame of mind (and web site approach) Upbeat, and personal, a “we can do this” frame of mind, a website with information about the impact on the environment of product they want to replace and often some kind of visual feedback of the impact one has with the change of (consuming) behavior. I like it!…
So I bought the products to start making my own cleaning products…. I am especially interested in the window cleaner ( with corn starch?) I am quite happy with the natural products I buy so this is a bit of a leap for me, but if they work it will really make a difference in the amount of waste plastic I will produce so it is worth the try. I like the idea of using “grand ma” period products and…
activism or slacktivism? (yes that is a real word) I have signed countless petitions. and I recogonize myself in many of the things they explain in this article. Do petitions save the world’s problems? no, but they are an important first step. This is one article I found on line about the effectiveness of petitions. I think, again that there is power in numbers, that we are in a wave of increasing awareness and more and more people feel the…
