    Made homemade deodorant! Boil 2oz of water and mix in one teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of baking soda. Add 2-3 drops of essential oils for scent.

    Definitely, easier than others on some days - but what a fun challenge! I am definitely more aware of my actions going forward!

    It may be the last day of the challenge, but I will continue to use less plastic and cleanup debris as I see it.

    I have learned that I have a fairly simple life style when it comes to purchasing items.

    Now researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have created a material derived from crab shells and tree fibers that has the potential to replace the flexible plastic packaging used to keep food fresh. http://www.news.gatech.edu/2018/07/23/material-formed-crab-shells-and-trees-could-replace-flexible-plastic-packaging
