    I set up my own personal challenge yesterday, with the goal of continuing my plastic awareness.  Due to my connectivity challenges at home,  the system would not add  it to my dashboard (or if it did, I did not see it).  However, it does not matter - I will still continue to reduce, reuse and recycle!

    While I didn't log on all that much I feel like I still did pretty good.

    It's the last day of the challenge! It was so encouraging to see how many plastic-free options I'd already been using when the month began, and super educational trying new things. Hopefully most if not all of those new things will stick after this. At the very least, my plastic-free shampoo, conditioner, and deodorant that will last a while!

    Last day.  This has been a great challenge and I have every intention of continuing with the goal of eliminating single use plastics everywhere possible.

    Training my brother to recycle is still a work in progress... It’s harder to bug him about it when I’m not living in the same house at the moment.

    Even on a miserably rainy morning (granted, we really needed the rain) it was unfortunately easy to find way too much plastic litter on the grounds.  Most of it was less than 10 feet from trash and recycling bins...

    I complained about my bamboo toothbrushes taking so long to arrive yesterday, so guess when they arrived! Their bristles are softer than I’m used but so far it’s working well.
