    It is difficult in the midst of every day events and scheduled activities to maintain a focus on this. But I am also aware, after reading this morning's STRIB article about the need to reduce our levels of waste burned in the County incinerator, that we need more advice and guidance on how to reduce waste - and we make most of our food from...

    It continues to be difficult to find alternatives to plastic containers of sour cream, yogurt and cottage cheese.

    These are supposed to be OK, as they are plant based, but I find that I get more use out of wool dryer balls. Bought some at the Textile Center in St. Paul because I like to buy local. They work great, save a lot of money and my dog lives for end of the dryer cycle so she can catch them.
  • January 5 at 5:39 AM
    I have several questions. 1) Why are dryer sheets not good to use? 2) We have some of those reusable produce bags but tend not to use them because the produce doesn't last as long in the crisper drawer of the frig. Suggestions? 3) What can we do to get our co-ops to use less plastic and join in this effort? I am looking forward to learning from...
