Thanks for the feedback! I usually use a reusable container to pack my sandwiches. It could be plastic, metal or glass and you can probably get them in NZ at a grocery store or Kmart. That way, nothing goes in the rubbish bin. PS – I think your blog is great!

Hi, I’m a student from Palmerston North Girls High School and I really enjoyed your film and the talk you presented today! Your project is really inspirational and I hope that more people start becoming more environmentally conscious – I know I certainly will! I just have a quick question: what’s a good way to pack sandwiches to take to school? I currently use aluminium foil and I see a lot of people wrapping their sandwiches in gladwrap, which are obviously not good for the environment!

My partner will be at Massey today to watch it, along with some vegan friends! We never thought we’d become vegan but once we learned about the behind-the-door (like the city dump for trash) stuff, it was a piece of cake to convert, I really felt connected last night watching your film, it was a similar experience, knowing what we do is right even though people think we are crazy…nothing is impossible. The movie will make a huge impact on many people, probably more than you realize. Thanks again Jen, I am so much more aware of the changes already packing today for our upcoming trip, yes starting right now to only take what’s necessary and leave no trash along the way…

Yes, we don’t use fluoride either, and my dentist said my teeth are fine without it. I know it is a contentious issue. Thanks for coming out to see us in NZ!

Yes “treasure stores” are so much fun!
It was great fun watching the movie tonight and hearing familiar North American accent in New Zealand, we were delighted to see you there! It will be hard to leave the theatre without thinking about our own habits. By the way, fluoride may be a myth (search for “fluoride deception” on Youtube). We’ve been using salt to brush our teeth for a few years now, and they are better than ever!
