    This challenge has been such a great experience! I am realizing truly how much plastic is used everyday and some ways to minimize plastic use.

    I can honestly say this plastic free month has lead me into quite a few plastic free habits! May the plastic free lifestyle continue on!

    Nothing screams "Plastic Free July FAIL" more than taking the leader of "plastic free Gulf Coast" to a restaurant that only serves plastics. :( Shame.

    When ordering your Sweet Tea at lunch, I need to be a little more specific and say "Sweet Tea, Lemon and NO STRAW" Please...

    I forgot my reusable bags when I went to the grocery store today! But I only used 4 plastic bags !

    Had a great discussion and lunch in Biloxi with Elizabeth from the group Plastic Free Gulf Coast.  This is a Mississippi Grass Roots Project that we need to turn into a total Gulf of Mexico Project.  To all my friends on the Gulf, contact me if you want to join us in making a Big Splash in the Gulf of Mexico. 
    Cheers

    I have purchased cups with built in straws for the family :) No More Straws!

    I do my best to Skip the Straw everyday ! But it is very difficult when eating out, and restaurants bring you a drink with a straw already in it! This happens a lot on the Gulf Coast and we need to start pushing businesses to give straws upon request!

    I have been using reusable containers to pack lunches.
