Plastic Reduction Challenge March

I completely forgot to post my March plastic challenge results.  I am sure I missed quite a bit of stuff considering I didn't count any of the plastic waste from our flooring project. We chose bamboo flooring and it came in long cardboard boxes that we recycled but inside the cardboard the bamboo was wrapped in protective plastic and thin foam spacers. Also I forgot to count the glue containers which thankfully were a #1 so I recycled them but I am not sure how much it adds to the overall March plastic weight.

Amount: 257g or 9 1/8 oz.

I went up from last month, but again it would have been much higher if I was able to count all the bamboo wrapping, which would have stuffed a large garbage sack tightly! Much of this months waste is still related to the flooring project.

duct tape
painters tape
random plastic bags from flooring stuff
envelope windows
misc cd and case
hook for rubber chicken coop shoes
bread sticks dipping sauce container ( my kitchen was torn up and I caved to delivery pizza )
foam shoe insoles for jakes shoes
crackers sleeves
head cold medicine wrappers
milk lid rings
and an old hotel card

The last major thing that couldn't have been avoided is ear protection. We went to our local general store (guns, outdoors etc...) to find jake some ear protection. He would be working with the table saw for this entire flooring project we wanted to make sure he was safe. All the good highly rated ones came in a plastic shell.

I vow to get Aprils up here in a timely manner. :o)
