      These are such a clever solution and also so beautiful! Not only does it reduce waste, it's also a much nicer presentation for a potluck, etc.

    I'm very interested in the item in this blog post about non-plastic re-usable covers for dishes (and they are fair trade certified). I think I may order some. Check them out: https://www.fairtradewinds.net/five-easy-plastic-free-alternatives/

    Read this article about plastic bans around the world - it's inspirational and also makes it clear that the U.S. is really behind: https://www.solinatra.com/news/plastic-bans-around-the-world

      Lisa, thanks for posting this article. It aggregates a lot of critical information, including how the term "biodegradable" is often used deceptively. This reminds me that it's my responsibility to keep current on developments affecting my ability to maintain a sustainable lifestyle--and that means continuous education, whether I like it or not. Getting the facts may not be pleasant, but it's necessary in order to choose the right actions.
