Looking for people who have done this/are considering it!!!
Dh and I are doing this right now. Wow, it's AMAZING how much plastic we have in our house! Tupperware, potty seat, a few toys, playdough containers, medicine bottles, rubbermaid containers...
We are trying to do all glass/pottery/clay alternatives. (Obviously, we have to make a few exceptions. Our DVDs are in plastic, our phone and computer and appliances have plastic, diapers have plastic snaps, etc)
First, we are stopping the flow INTO the house. That means telling people we are going plastic-free...so they don't buy dd toys, don't give us tupperware or other plastic gifts, etc.
Now we are trying to slowly replace everything with natural alternatives. We can't afford to do it all at once.
I am really excited about this, but I do have some questions....for some things, I can't some up with a good alternative. Any mamas wanna let me pick their brains?
