The McSisters are taking a break from blogging to focus on efforts to support political candidates who act to protect our environment, our health, our communities, and our democracy.

Join millions of people reducing their plastic waste.

Exciting times ahead for McSister Barbara. . . My wonderful supportive husband, David Doht, and I are heading to Singapore for the Rotary International Convention.

Did you know that recent statistics suggest that every year 50 billion disposable cups are used in the United States – and nearly all of those cups are lined with plastic and used with plastic lids?

Today is Earth Day – a day to highlight the importance of protecting the environment and to take actions to protect the environment for future generations. The theme for this year’s Earth Day is Planet vs. Plastic.

Today is the one-year anniversary of our McSisters Tackle Plastic blog. Thank you subscribers!

The McSisters wish to thank and acknowledge our subscribers for reading our blogs and sending us some great feedback and suggestions.

You may have noticed if you are passionate and committed to making a difference in an area of life that is important to you, that not everyone feels the same. It can be a bit frustrating at times. But you don’t give up.

It’s that time again for Plastic Free Lunch Day and we want to encourage our subscribers to participate

It is back to school season for kids and adults alike. This usually means a backpack full of plastic school and lunch supplies.

It's the last day of July and the last day of Plastic Free July. We hope it is not your last day of Making a Difference – for your health, your family’s health, and the health of our planet! Nothing should stop you from making Plastic Free July turn into Plastic Free Every Day!

McSisters Frances and Barbara were inspired to keep taking plastic free steps during a recent trip to New Zealand and Australia. During our travels we had the great fortune to meet several First Nation people who shared stories of their culture, traditions, and personal family experiences.

Plastic Free July is here and what better place to start changing plastic habits than with our precious young people.

It’s time for Plastic Free July – a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution.

If you shop at Costco, you may have noticed the extreme prevalence of supersized packaging.

As one of my friends recently exclaimed as he threw up his hands in great frustration “plastic is everywhere!”.

Many of us are starting to be aware of the “Amazon” problem – that is the enormous volume of unnecessary plastic packaging. It is not just an Amazon problem, but nearly every online purchase comes with unnecessary plastic packaging

By 2050 there is expected to be more plastic than fish in the ocean, by weight. This should be extremely alarming to all of us. Rotarians are taking action across the globe. “End Plastic Soup” (EPS) is a global environmental initiative started by the Rotary Clubs of Amsterdam.
