My name is Jessie Franklin, the founder of Eco-Fundraiser.com - a zero waste school ​ ​ fundraiser - and author of Clean Green Home. Three years ago, I decided to eliminate ​ ​ unnecessary toxins from my home because I began to realize that many ingredients used in household and beauty products, even the so called “green” ones, are chemicals that can be harmful to our health. My research led me to see how the ingredients in every product we use, and it’s packaging - especially single-use and disposable plastic - also impacts the health of our environment. I always thought that plastics would forever have use if properly recycled, but as I learned more, I discovered that recycling them is not the eco-friendly solution that I had believed it to be. My research led to the discovery that if plastic actually makes it to be recycled, it only has a recycle life of 1-3 times (at best) before it will be made into something that can no longer be recycled (like clothing or carpet)! And in many cities the plastic that is collected from curbside bins is sold and shipped to China, or other countries across seas. However, China has now imposed a ban and is no longer accepting plastics from most of the West, making plastic waste and even more pressing situation since it can take hundreds of years to degrade in a landfill. The solution is to find ​ alternatives to purchasing products that are made of, or packaged in, plastic - especially those intended for single-use! Learning how to drastically reduce my unintentional consumption of plastic has been a gradual process of research (hours, and hours and hours), lots of trials, and TONS of errors. So I decided that all of the time and energy I've spent on research could make a more powerful impact on preserving our environment by sharing it with people everywhere - because it’s not about the desire to protect our environment - it’s about knowing where to start (which can be intimidating, confusing, and overwhelming), and how to do it in a practical way. Our society is not set up to make being an eco-conscious consumer easy, but if we all do our best to make informed choices, eventually the tides will turn. I created this Eco-guide, with the intention to help ​ ​ individuals simplify the process of reducing their dependence on plastics, which in turn will have long lasting and far reaching positive effects on the environment. I’ve also included a letter at the end of chapter 12 requesting grocers to carry more plastic free products so that consumers will have easy access to them. Please feel free to copy the letter to send to your local grocer or grocery chain. Waste = In this guide the word, “waste,” means any part of a product or its packaging ​ that needs to be discarded (ending up in the landfill) once its useful life is over. All plastic is considered waste, even if it is a plastic product or container that can be ​ recycled, because these plastics can only be downcycled and made into something ​ else 1-3 times. For example, recycled plastic bottles can be downcycled into synthetic materials (polyester, fleece, spandex, nylon) that will be used to make things like clothing, shoes, carpet and rugs. These items are not recyclable at the end of their useful life, and will eventually end up in a landfill and can take hundreds of years, if not more (scientists don’t really know yet), to decompose. And the chemicals left behind can damage the surrounding environment for years to come. With that being said, now it’s time for a disclaimer: THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS GUIDE REFLECTS THE OPINIONS OF THE AUTHOR REGARDING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND/OR BENEFITS OF THE PACKAGING USED FOR THE REFERENCED PRODUCTS. THE AUTHOR'S OPINIONS DO NOT CONSTITUTE A WARRANTY OR ENDORSEMENT OF THE REFERENCED PRODUCTS' SAFETY OR EFFICACY. And, in case you’re wondering, I am not sponsored by any of the companies whose ​ ​ products are recommended in this guide. I have actually used these products in my own home, and they are what I’ve found to be the best alternatives to products that would otherwise be packaged in, or made of, plastic. I’d love to have you join me on Facebook or Instagram @themindful_momma for ​ ​ updates on new information and helpful hints on how to transition from plastic dependence. Hopefully seeing my posts will help you stay connected with your intention to make a positive impact on our earth, and will be a reminder to stay on the path, even if you make some mistakes along the way. It is my intention to create a supportive and informative community of people like you and I who care, and want to learn how to become good citizens of the earth together. I look forward to hearing from you and answering questions that may come up, so please feel free to reach out to me anytime! packaging and disposal in a nutshell Packaging: Non-renewable resources such as oil and water are used to make plastic. ​ ​ ​ Many products, especially food and personal care products, are packaged in plastic. Plastics are not easily recyclable in all areas, and in some cases, no longer accepted in city recycling programs. Water is also a consideration when looking at single-use plastic packaging. For example, it takes almost twice the amount of water to make a bottle for bottled water than there is water in the bottle for consumption. It’s best to refuse products made of or packaged in plastic. Luckily, you have this Eco-guide to ​ ​ help you make new purchasing decisions! Disposal: Even if plastics can be recycled in your city’s curbside pick-up, they only ​ ​ ​ have a down-cycling life of 1-3 times (at best) before the end product (likely clothing, ​ ​ shoes, carpet, rugs etc.) eventually becomes waste in the landfill or natural environment. The best way to truly reduce plastic waste is to use this guide to ​ help you find alternatives to products that are packaged in, or made of plastic, especially those intended for single-use . How to use this guide: Read Chapters 1-3 for easy tips that you can put to use right ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ away. After that, you can continue to read the guide cover to cover, or simply refer to each chapter on an as-need basis when making your next purchasing decision(s). I’ve included Tips which offer ways to save you money and/or time. And remember, every ​ ​ time that you purchase something you have the opportunity to make a difference, so just take it one step at a time! Chapter 1 - three easy steps to reduce single-use plastic dependence, ​ ​ NEEDS, and 7 R’s ​ ​ Here are 3 easy steps to replace single-use plastic dependence today! #1 Purchase your own reusable water bottle and coffee mug ​ ​ ​ Bring them with you everywhere, so that you won’t need to buy bottled water or accept drinks in plastic cups. You can double your impact by purchasing a bottle that’s insulated and use it when you get your to go coffee, tea, juice, smoothies, or ANY beverage. Fact: About 1 MILLION plastic bottles are used EVERY MINUTE, that’s about 50 ​ ​ ​ ​ BILLION EVERY YEAR in the US alone! About 38 MILLION of these will end up in the ​ ​ landfill! That’s the equivalent to 192 gallons of oil and about 1 billion dollars! There are a lot of different stainless steel bottles and mugs out there now, but many have plastic lids, or contain plastic parts. Here are a few that don’t. Pura offers insulated or non-insulated water bottles for adults and children of all ages. ​ They also offer interchangeable food grade silicone mouth pieces for kids as they ​ ​ move through different stages (nipple, sip spout, straw). ​ ​ Tip: Bring your child’s reusable water bottle into restaurants for their drinks. Just ask ​ ​ ​ your server to fill the reusable bottle with their beverage. If a plastic cup with water is brought to your table, simply refuse it before they set it down. Yolohayoga makes simple, elegant glass and food grade stainless steel insulated ​ bottles wrapped with beautiful, eco-friendly decorative cork (which is antimicrobial). u-conserve offers a great insulated travel mug with a food grade silicone lid (many hot ​ beverage stainless mugs have plastic lids). Water Filters: Many people ask me how to transition from using bottled water ​ because they don’t want to drink tap water (although many bottled waters are comparable to tap water quality).

  • Plastic Bag Ban Frequently Asked Questions
    PLASTIC BAG BAN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BACKGROUND On April 22, 2014, the city council unanimously voted to ban the use of single use plastic bags in Beverly Hills. WHY ARE PLASTIC BAGS BEING BANNED? Plastic bags have detrimental effects to our environment. A single plastic bag can take up to 1,000 years to degrade. Plastic bags are the second-most common type of ocean refuse, after cigarette butts. Plastic bags remain toxic even after they break down. Every square mile of ocean has about 46,000 pieces of plastic floating in it. Plastic bags are difficult to recycle. Less than 5% of the 19 billion (19,000,000,000) plastic bags used annually in California are actually recycled. WHEN DOES THE ORDINANCE GO INTO EFFECT? The plastic bag ban will be carried out in two phases. The First phase of the ordinance went into effect on July 1, 2014. Phase two, which bans plastic bags at small grocery stores, convenience stores, pharmacies, and food markets, will be put into practice on January 1, 2015. WHICH STORES ARE AFFECTED? Only stores selling breads, sodas, snacks, or other convenient items are affected. Phase 1 stores include: Ride Aid (Canon Dr.) Ride Aid (Bedford Dr.) CVS (Wilshire Blvd) Pavilions Whole Foods WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE REUSABLE BAGS? Since the ordinance’s adoption, the city has distributed reusable bags to residents at community events. As part of the ordinance, stores are required to carry inventory of reusable bags, which may be purchased by customers if needed. Stores are also required to sell paper bags for .10 cents each, so remember to bring your reusable bags when you shop! ARE PAPER BAGS STILL HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT? Yes, paper bags still have damaging effects to the environment.

  • Paper Bag Nature Journals
    Paper Bag Nature Journal By Rob Beadel, Arkansas Project Learning Tree and similar to PBSKids Wild Kratts Wildlife Journal http://www-tc.pbskids.org/outdoors/assets/pdf/journal.pdf Materials: • two lunch-size paper bags • yarn or string • blank paper (computer or construction) • scissors • tape • hole punch Instructions: 1. Take two small lunch bags: one is the front cover, the other the back. 2. Punch two holes along the same LONG side of the lunch bag that will be the back cover. These holes will be your template for the rest of your journal. 3. Take 5 sheets of your paper (computer or construction) and fold each one in half along the long edge (the long edge should now be the shorter edge) and then cut them down the fold. You should now have 10 sheets of paper. (You can do more if you want, or less, depends on what you have and how much you want to put in.) 4. Line up 5 of your papers with the long edges all flush and put the hole-punched back cover over them and put an “X” where the holes are then take the back cover off and punch the holes. (Or you can just hole punch through the holes.) NOTE: make sure you keep a firm grip on the paper, so the holes all line up. 5. Take the last 5 papers and do the same thing as above. 6. Now take the front cover lunch paper bag and line the template up to punch holes in it. Assembling the journal! Stack the pieces in the following order a.

  • RECYCLING BROWN PAPER BAG Concept: Responsible Use of RESOURCES, ONE RESOURCE at a TIME, Is STEWARDSHIP
    Lesson Plan • Lesson Plan • Lesson Plan • Lesson Plan RECYCLING BROWN PAPER BAG Concept: Responsible use of RESOURCES, ONE RESOURCE at a TIME, is STEWARDSHIP. In what way do students already understand this concept? (clothes from older siblings, lunch pails instead of paper bags, using both sides of paper before discarding, etc). Objectives: EACH PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY RECYCLING! Discussion about how each student already recycles: • At home: bottles and cans returned for deposit; donation to Goodwill of clothing • At school: receptacles for different recycling items, fundraising opportunities collecting newspapers, bottle tops, soup labels, etc. Required Materials : • LARGE BROWN PAPER BAG Alternate SHOW AND TELL: present other items produced by recycling (example: TerraCycle products; do students have any of them? Suggest teacher has some on hand before lesson) to aid in discussion about recycling). - Distribute BROWN PAPER BAG to each student - Discuss uses, how they may be reused after groceries are unloaded. Directions for Recycling a Brown Paper Bag: 1. Unfold the bottom of the grocery bag by carefully tearing it open. Cut off the bottom of the bag at the last fold. (For younger students, this part can be done ahead of time by the teacher). 2. If advertisement is on the bag: Flatten the bag and carefully cut along one side to fully open the bag. Turn bag inside out, so any advertisement will be hidden and tape cut seam together again. If there is no advertisement, proceed to Step 3. 3. Smooth the bag along all the seams to make the bag as flat as possible.

  • Plastic Bag Policy
    Plastic Bag Policy Jay M. Peltz General Counsel and Vice President of Government Relations Food Industry Alliance of NYS The 2011 United Kingdom Environment Agency Study ➢ In 2011, the United Kingdom Environment Agency published a comprehensive, 119-page study titled “Evidence - Life cycle assessment of supermarket carrier bags: a review of the bags available in 2006.” ➢ The “…study… assesses the life cycle environmental impacts of the production, use and disposal of different carrier bags for the UK in 2006.” The 2011 United Kingdom Environment Agency Study ➢ The first finding of the Executive Summary of the study asserts that “The environmental impact of all types of carrier bag is dominated by resource use and production stages. Transport, secondary packaging and end-of-life management generally have a minimal influence on their performance.” ➢ Much of the U.S. study is focused on end-of-life management, even though it typically has a “minimal influence” on plastic bag performance. The 2011 United Kingdom Environment Agency Study ➢ The second finding of the study states that “Whatever type of bag is used, the key to reducing the impacts is to reuse it as many times as possible and where reuse for shopping is not practicable, other reuse, e.g., to replace bin liners, is beneficial.” ➢ The study further notes that “Overall it was estimated that 76 percent of single use carrier bags were reused (emphasis added).” Referencing the WRAP 2005 study, 14 separate categories of reuses, including use as bin liners, were specified. Plastic Bag Reduction, Reuse and Recycling Law, 2008 Title 27-2701-2707 ➢ New York State’s Plastic Bag Reduction, Reuse and Recycling Act ➢ It is a new statewide law that requires certain retail and grocery stores to set up a plastic bag recycling program for customers to return plastic bags for recycling.
