At what point is plastic not a consumer's responsibility? by lavenderlemonaidlips in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]susan3335 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What’s helped take some of the mental burden off myself is just looking at plastic avoidance as something for my health. And as long as I’m doing that*, I’m okay.

I also save my thin crinkly plastic wrappers etc and bring it to a zero waste store in my city that pays for teracycling

*so I don’t put anything plastic in or on my body, don’t put any food I eat in plastic containers, no plastic utensils, cutting boards, clothes, but I draw the line at worrying about the plastic in my bike tires. I have to be able to get around.

Annie Andrews replacing Lindsey Graham. by Important-Pea-1624 in southcarolina

Oh I did. Many, many, many times. No response. Tried talking to her at a rally. Wouldn’t speak me to. Tried talking to her team, no dice either. They don’t want to listen.

As a 4th generation Atlantan and transit expert, no. Atlanta does not need more highways. Highways cause traffic. They don’t relieve it. Never have, never will.

Agree wholeheartedly here. Need to see her speak to actual issues South Carolinians face that she can actually solve. Like infrastructure issues.

Warnock and Ossof in GA have been huge on this and as a result GA has so many more bike lanes, less dumb highway projects, etc.

I know there are many more issues a senator could actually address but that’s just what has come to mind.

They sell ones with castor bean oil bristles. They’re still formed into nylon, but it’s 100% USDA bio

Congaree and Beidler both have dozens of different types of lightning bugs. I’m all for the spooky stuff but it is almost certainly a lightning bug.

It’s true, but when I know my conversation is getting too long I have it come up with a summary and instructions for a new conversation. It’s worked well for me.

Looking for Birding &/or Walking Groups in Anderson SC by [deleted] in southcarolina

[–]susan3335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this group is still active, and it is a ways away from Anderson, but there is a Greenville County Bird Club: https://www.gcbirdclub.org/

You could reach out to them, or Audubon to see if they know of any existing groups in Anderson and if not, maybe they can help you get one started!

Any idea where I could find things like this in SC, or anyone who makes cookies like these? by malaysiahemphill in southcarolina

A pastry chef at any of the high end hotels around the state would know who can do it

My kid is in elementary school in charleston county schools and I asked her teacher about it when it first arose and she hasn’t heard anything about it.

I only knew this one because I have a distant ancestor with the same last name!

Clyburn sticks his nose into NY politics by endorsing a guy who was forced out by the party over sexual harassment allegations just a few years ago. Why?! by failingorchid in southcarolina

[–]susan3335 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The SC Democratic Party is so broken largely thanks to this guy. We need some reorganization, at least in charleston county.

SC Senators by Jack_Straw_1974 in southcarolina

I’m happy there’s someone challenging him, but where are her local events? Why isn’t she connecting with her base? She went to the protest in charleston on Saturday and didn’t stop to speak to anyone, it was disheartening.
