Last year, Nate, Ben and I participated in the first survey of salamanders in Wisconsin. We surveyed the pond at Holy Wisdom monastery. We had to check the traps for 10 days. When we got there each day the staff would say..."The Salamander Lady is here." I love that title!
This year our family has decided to focus on one environmental action each month. This blog will help us keep track of what we accomplish.
This month's action...use less plastic. We will try to not buy any new plastic ( of any kind) and to reduce our use of plastic in anyway we can.
What we have done so far:
1. Shopped at Willy St coop. We brought all of our own bags and the majority of our purchases were produce and bulk. Nate and Ben got to pick out lunches and they did choose two kinds of meat that both came packaged in plastic.
2. Replaced the boys lunch box water bottles with metal. These were expensive ( $17 each!) But Ben says the water tastes better.
3. The boys packed their lunches with out plastic bags. Nate used tin foil. Ben used waxed paper.
