Im Stoked your still doing the plastic tax and equally important, writing about it! Since I've been home from my short ride with all of you in Mexico there has been nothing more apparent than the waste that America contributes to the world. I had been home for about 3 weeks and had a conversation with a friend who works for our local waste management recycling crew. She said that they weren't even sure where the plastic went from our county. I was appalled! how could we not know? I've begun to follow the plastic trail...I need to know if its really getting "recycled" I've also started a "Plastic Fast" Im just not buying it anymore and everything that I "throw away" I mean "recycle" Im documenting, just to see how much one conscious woman can produce. It took me two weeks just to get through one day without any plastic waste. Now its days before I have anything to report. Im inspired by the plastic tax. There are alot of countries charging for bags now. If you dont bring something to carry your new bought items in, you have to BUY a bag! Duh! In Mumbai, India they just OUTLAWED all plastic bags!!! it clogs up their waterways when the rain comes and causes flooding. Other countries are following. Lets hope America follows too. Keep up the good work! No Popote Grasias! Hola!
