San Antonio Zoo Crew

Went to try to catch up on my last day... but I guess the 3 day window only lasted until the end of July. Bummer. Not even sure if this will post. :-(

Despite some frustrations and ongoing challenges this month has been super enjoyable.  Huge THANK YOU to the organizers and to all the participants.  I've really loved reading all the stories and seeing our collective impact.  Onward to 2019!

I very much enjoyed these challenges, and I sad that the month is over. I found a few complications during the challenge.  One was finding a place to buy a bamboo toothbrush. I thought Whole Food would have carried them, but they didn't. I did find toothbrushes made of yogurt cups which was cool, but I'm going to have to do more searching for...

 Definitely going to miss Plastic Free  July, I have learned a lot this month. This was my first year doing something like this and had tons of fun logging in and checking off my actions for the day, even if I did forget sometimes. I am going to try and continue doing something like this after today.😊

Last day of Plastic Free July challenge! I hope this challenge has helped everyone create permanent ecofriendly habits! 

How many of you all will miss PFJ and plan to sign up for the Fall challenge from October 3 - 24?  I hope I can get another team together to participate.  Gotta keep our momentum going!

Last day of the challenge, San Antonio Zoo Crew!  Let's see if we can make a final push up the standings!

Last day!  I was already compulsive about recycling and pretty decent at avoiding single-use plastic before, but this challenge has helped me find even more ways to reduce plastic in my life.  We've made some permanent changes in my household that will not only cut down on plastic but also simplify our lives and even save money.  Wins all around!

Well, today is the last official day of the challenge, and this weekend was hard.  Like feeling guilty about stopping at Starbucks and Sonic on the same day hard (no straws from Sonic, but Frappuccinos are impossible to consume without one, and I'm looking for a good reusable one). I've definitely become more aware about how much plastic is...

Last day!  But I will continue to be more conscientious about my plastic usage!  And to close out the day the Education Team is watching the documentary that was listed as a resource "Bag it"!
