Chemical & Plastic Planet

I'm in Philadelphia spending a bit of time with my brother. Amidst enjoying some fine local music, some amazing local food, helping with some home projects, and being back in a city with good public transportation, I've been watching a few documentaries my brother found enlightening. Thus far the list has included "Bag It," "Chemerical," and "Plastic Planet." It's been more than a bit disturbing and mind-opening.

After a myriad of facebook posts, a friend wrote "I'm not necessarily the observant type, but I get the feeling that you dislike plastic." Thus, I've decided to blog some of my finding instead of bombarding the facebook world.

Here are the links to the films & such:

Chemerical

Bag It

Plastic Planet

Here are some links to products that don't leach the toxins plastic does (i.e. are not plastic) and don't contain other strange chemicals that are carcinogenic and such. I need to look more into some natural cosmetic options and make some household cleaners. See Chemerical the film for more info:
