I haven't read the whole thread because now I'm all fired up to clear out some plastic crap from my house 
but I wanted to add that plastic CAN be made out of hemp which is one of the most sustainable, earth-friendly fiber crops known to man (Henry Ford made a hemp plastic car that ran on hemp fuel back in 1941).

We would love to go all wooden in our kitchen (for dishes of course... cast iron for cooking would be great if we only had a ton of money...). Thrift stores are the best!
love and peace.
