"As I see the climate change and carbon dioxide problem, it is one way of figuring out how to live the best quality of life while using much less energy. Heirloom products are one way to make a significant contribution. It probably means you will end up owning less junk, your life will be less cluttered, and your stuff will be more beautiful and serve you with more joy."

decreasing plastic
Lately I have been thinking about all of the plastic that surrounds us, especially plastic that has a very short use value.
Some of these items are easier to eliminate (plastic water bottles, plastic shopping bags) than others (food containers, packaging).
One of my first ideas to decrease food packaging plastic was to find a dairy in Dallas that uses/re-uses glass bottles. When I was little, in Milton, Massachusetts, we had a milk delivery service with glass bottles; I always got excited around the holidays because of the eggnog which had a different color foil lid.
Anyways, my initial search has not been successful; apparently the only dairy in Texas that uses glass bottles is in San Antonio. Check out the list here to see if there is a dairy in your area.
