- Perhaos you did not mean to include recycled plastic as an eco friendly choice in your intro as the rest of the lens is about natural products and has some great suggestions. Blessed and featured on Blessed by Skiesgreen 2012 and also on Ban all Plastics. Hugs

- thanks for stopping by - and the blessing. I did include recycled plastics because I'd much rather see "eco-friendly" products being made from them then to see them choke our oceans and streams. Besides, one is much for likely to pass on a recycled plastic toy to another child then they are a used plastic bottle, right? But I totally get where you're coming from. :)
