We used plastic grass and plastic eggs, but we re-used them for decades and never bought new.

You are so right about plastic and we use it so much that we don’t even realize how much we depend on this crap. I am surprised how many kids don’t deal with real eggs. It was so much fun to boil the eggs and then colour them. My mom would place them on a plate, after we found them of course, and we would all have eggs for breakfast. We never had plastic eggs.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-41314642194575647232018-04-02T09:46:02.957-05:002018-04-02T09:46:02.957-05:00You are keeping up well with the 365 project - can...You are keeping up well with the 365 project - can you believe we’re 1/3 of the way through? I love all this week’s entries - no surprise that Going Around in Circles is one of my favourites. As always, I love your clever titles. I loved your ideas on Easter alternatives. I will say if you can’t resist something with plastic packaging, at least get something that’s recyclable. As for the plastic grass, I never bought that. I actually bought paper grass - the paper shredding is such a good idea but sometimes convenience wins out! My son is all grown up now so I dion’t need to worry about Easter baskets any more.

I did use plastic eggs, but re-used them each year to hold small candies like Hershey Kisses, M&Ms. and jelly beans. I use plastic eggs to keep my kneadable erasers clean and portable.CJ Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931779747826558608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-54998628028419641852018-04-01T11:23:25.885-05:002018-04-01T11:23:25.885-05:00Great collage ideas Elizabeth and interesting post...Great collage ideas Elizabeth and interesting post and ideas about the recycling - thank you..<br />As some one who doesn't drive, I find it frustrating where I live, not to be able to recycle more. And living near the sea, all sorts of things also get washed up on the beach which is horrible.<br />But re the plastic, a few days ago I caught the end of an article on TV (which I meant to investigate further) which was about recycling plastic to use as a road surface. I'm not sure where they were doing it already - it may have been India.<br />Happy Easter...

It always amazes me that people buy need plastic eggs each year. Not only bad for the environment but what a waste of cash. NICE little essay about plastic and waste. :) And I love seeing your collages too. You know how to come up with the best titles-and I've told you that at least a hundred times I think.

I never bought Easter- oder Halloweentreats for my daughter - she just got something to play with or for crafting. Sweets and chocolate aren't just bad for our earth because of the plastic wrapping - they are also bad for the body and teeth. And it was good that I acted this way, my daughter is now nearly 18 and has just one single dental filling!<br />Not enough with Easter and Christmas - the commerc and industry take every chance to make a big event to sell their products ...<br />not just enough with X-Mas, Easter, Valentine's Day - they even brought with obtrusiveness Halloween to us from overseas 30 years ago just for the opportunity to sell even more... we never celebrated it before - it was a quiet Holiday in tribute to the dead people and the saints. They made a carneval out of it, just to sell more. That is the reason I don't like Halloween.
