I have some cool tips and information for all you wonderful people joining the #PlasticFreeJuly movement! 

Get out there and make a difference!

I wrote a book! It's a quick and handy little guide to plastic-free shopping and how putting an end to the plastic in your shopping cart will actually have great effects on your personal health. I put in a meal plan, recipes and everything to help get you started!

Check out The Plastic-Free Diet on Amazon.

In this episode I talk about the book, and about how we have to remember not to starve ourselves in the name of The Greater Good. Enjoy!

*I just got a fancy new microphone, and seem to have been playing with it as I recorded to episode. That's what you're hearing. Isn't it fun?

 Did you know we're all basically wearing Ziploc bags? Introduce yourself to the world of natural fibre!

*In this episode I mention the chicle as Mexico's rubber tree...actually, the chicle trees are for gum! The rubber trees are called Palo de Hule, or castilla elastica.

The fancier the TP, the thicker its plastic wrappings. You can start scavenging for strong leaves or you can try one of these ideas! Both are fine.
