Description:

Edible Santa Barbara and Be Green Packaging are co-sponsoring a Plastic Challenge for Santa Barbara for the month of October, 2010.

...
Things You Can Do:

Give up plastic disposable water bottles. Carry a reusable water bottle for beverages on the go. At home use filtered tap water.

Carry reusable bags for shopping and purchases at any stores - reusable bags are not just for grocery shopping anymore.

Bring reusable cotton or nylon net bags to the grocery or farmers market for bagging produce and bulk bin items.

Avoid packaged products in plastic. Buy groceries in recycable or compostable containers. Go to a cheese shop or butcher shop and have your purchases wrapped in paper.
