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

Sometimes it may feel like you are being told what to do on just about any topic – don't eat this, don’t say that, and don’t use single-use plastic. It may seem impossible to live up to all the demands, but don’t worry, we McSisters feel that way too sometimes.

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.

As Plastic Free July continues, we McSisters want to introduce you to Kim Neal, founder and owner of Sonoma County Trading Company and Refillery.

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

A very Happy Mother’s Day to all our subscribers, whether you are a mother or a child of a mother!

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.

Ok, sometimes we McSister’s just don’t get it and just want to scream! Is it SO difficult to make the simple choice to say no to single-use plastic?

A subscriber recently shared an article titled “How to celebrate birthdays plastic free”. You may remember our previous blog titled “Throw a party but don’t invite the plastic”. We do love to party and summer fun and parties are coming soon so this is a perfect time to revisit the topic of parties and plastic.

Every day it seems there is more bad news about the impacts of single-use plastic, including the production of plastic. Sadly, the United States is one of the largest producers of plastic in the world, after China.

This year, on April 19, 2023, Cafeteria Culture & the Urban School Food Alliance, representing 18 of the nation's largest school districts, will host Plastic Free Lunch Day (PFLD) USA in schools across the country.

It is now estimated that dry cleaners produce about 300 million pounds of plastic per year in the U.S. alone!!!

McSisters are delighted to introduce guest blogger Jana Koebel who describes herself as grant writer, plastic consultant, traveler, nomad, animal lover, and eco-warrior.

The three of us have been trying personal care products with non-single-use packaging and encourage you to do the same.
