Environmentalists are usually thought of as folks who are trying to stop something: a destructive dam, an oil export terminal, a risky pipeline. But when it comes to housing, new-school environmentalists...understand that it’s necessary to support things, too. To meet California’s ambitious goals to cut pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, regulators say the state must build dense, walkable neighbourhoods that allow people to ditch their cars.

  1. I have to agree about the meal subscription boxes. I've had a couple from Mindful Chef, but there was just too much plastic which I couldn't recycle locally. Also they would send, say, a teaspoon of paprika in a plastic pot, when I already had a jar of it in the cupboard... Thank you for the links!

    1. That's so frustrating! I used to get a crafty subscription box and everything in that was wrapped in plastic too - it's such a shame!

  2. I have often thought that about the Hello Fresh box my friend gets. I always love this post!

      I've cancelled a couple of subscription boxes because of too much plastic packaging!
