Thank you to those of you who were able to join us for the film last Friday (March 6, 2020) . If you were unable to attend, no worries, you can watch the video on your own (if you have Netflix). We viewed the 4th episode of their series called Broken: Recycling Sham.
In addition to that video, Story of Stuff sent around this short video (3 minutes) asking if plastic producers should pay for recycling. Check it out here…

Finally, below you will find web addresses and a bit of information about the companies whose products we shared. As discussed, this list is merely a sampling of all the fabulous products and companies that are out there and, as a group, we are all interested in becoming more informed about our options so we ask that each of you share your own knowledge and experience.
