    Can't forget to eat my plastic free packaging blueberries from the farmer's market, I guess that is the danger is buying things then throwing them in a paperbag in the produce drawer of the fridge!

      So far it's working out. This is actually my second box. I had some bike grease on a shirt that it did not get out but I am not sure any detergent would get it out. It passes my husbands test who is a little too clean and scrutinizes products pretty harshly

    No idea that gum had such negative environmental factors. I used to a pack a week or so, but for some reason just stopped and happy to report hadn't really desired to start again and the positive impacts only helps

    Today I bought blueberries at the farmer's market. Whenever I am there I try to buy an item that I would be forced to buy in plastic at the grocery store and berries of any type are always on that list
