Good news! . Victoria will ban single-use plastics

Good news!
.
Victoria will ban single-use plastics by 2023, beginning by phasing out banned items in its own government systems within a year.
.
The ban includes plastic straws, cutlery, plates, cotton ear bud sticks and polystyrene cups and containers. When announcing the ban on Saturday, the environment minister, Lily D’Ambrosio, said that these items account for about a third of litter in Victoria.
.
The ban includes bars, cafés and restaurants but not medical or scientific equipment and exemptions will apply for emergency, disability and aged care services as needed.
.
Plastic contributes to the climate crisis all along its life cycle and Big Oil is currently ramping up production of the stuff. Regulations like these will make a big dent in preventing plastic pollution at its source—production.

Our lemon tree didn't produce much this year so I

THREE copies up for grabs of the book “Plastic Free: The Inspiring Story of a Global Environmental Movement and Why It Matters”...
🌊
One person can make a difference! In July 2011, Rebecca Prince-Ruiz (founder of @plasticfreejuly) challenged herself to go plastic free for the whole month. Starting with a small group of people in Western Australia, the Plastic Free July movement has grown to an estimated 326 million strong community across 177 countries, empowering people to reduce single-use plastic consumption and create a cleaner future.
🌊
From the book description: “This book explores how one of the world’s leading environmental campaigns took off and shares lessons from its success. From narrating marine-debris research expeditions to tracking what actually happens to our waste to sharing insights from behavioral research, it speaks to the massive scale of the plastic waste problem and how we can tackle it together. Interweaving interviews from participants, activists, and experts, Plastic Free tells the inspiring story of how ordinary people have created change in their homes, communities, workplaces, schools, businesses, and beyond.”

This weekend’s shopping includes a smallish farm

This weekend’s shopping includes a smallish farmers’ market haul on a new-to-me background. Total cost of the background: $0.

On Saturday, I “shopped” at something like a moving sale or estate sale where everything was free. A friend of a friend left town just as the lockdowns began last year and hasn’t been back since. She has decided to stay on the East Coast and from there is co-ordinating the move of her belongings from here on the West Coast. She’s leaving behind loads of stuff, a lot of which would go to landfill. So, on the weekend, several of us descended upon her home—masked and socially distanced—and cleared out boxes and boxes of useful stuff. I’ve posted just some of the things I grabbed.
.
I’ve wanted a table to put in the window for taking pictures and voila! (The burlap sac came from a local café that roasts its own beans and tosses these bags out.) We had no glasses; now we do (not shown: half a dozen more that I need to wash still). The little teabag rest is smaller than the ramekin I’ve been using (and it frees up a ramekin). My oven mitts are shot and this pair still has the tag on them. Charlotte needed a desk lamp; one magically appeared. Finally, I grabbed this never used, unopened Blu-ray player to post in my Buy Nothing Group (we don’t own a TV). Several people asked for this right away and I need to randomly pick a recipient today.
.
I say this all the time on here but when I need or want something, if I’m patient, it eventually shows up. I can’t tell you how often this happens.
.
I hope everyone’s week is off to a good start.

I hope you find these conversions helpful. Please note: I’ve rounded a bit on the conversions from US to metric, so you’ll notice some slight inconsistency as the measurements scale up (I rounded 1.892 liters to 1.9, for example).
