This post has nothing to do with plastic, but it does relate to personal activism and the power of each individual to make change in the world, if she or he simply tries.

Sometimes I get the feeling that there are people who view our recent changes in views as some kind of "experience". As if we watched some "magic" show and were so impressed.

I still have over half a (plastic) container of TRESemme styling putty that I purchased long before I stopped buying new plastic, but I quit using it months ago.
