no more plastic?

I have decided it would be a really great idea to attempt a plastic free life. Its probably going to be impossible considering plastic is everywhere, but I know I can make a few steps in the right direction so that I reduce my carbon footprint. I recently attended the Green Living Show in Toronto, and discovered a lot of really great ways to substitute the amount of plastic in my life for biodegradable options. For example, garbage bags:
I bought some bags similar to this, and they are oxy-biodegradable, which means it takes 5 years to start breaking down - as opposed to the indestructible lifetime of regular plastic bags.
I also purchased some wooden cutlery to take with me on the go for when i get takeout.



It's a good start, that's for sure. Now I just have to remember to bring my own existing tupperware container or with me where ever I go, or bring something not styrofoam or plastic.
The idea is to not purchase any new plastic or bring any new plastic into my possession, as best i can.
