    Bought dog treats from Mud Bay in bulk with a reusable container. It was cheaper than ordering online, and it supports local business!

    I made my own granola bars for the first time! A little crumbly but I’m sure with practice I can get it right. Worth it to reduce plastic waste!

    It took me a little while but I have finally swapped out all my soaps for bars or refillable options! Face wash bar, shampoo bar, bulk dish soap in refillable container, etc. Feeling good about minimizing my plastic waste!

    When my mom came back from getting me a bamboo toothbrush she had one for each member of my family! I askedher  what made her switch and she said that they were way cheaper. That’s not the best reason to do things but I’ll take it.

    Saw Green Goat water in aluminum cans at PDZA. Researched buying for a volunteer organization that distributes water and food to families visiting detained immigrants.
