    Finished my second organized trash pick up last Friday with Jazzercise of Mckinney. It was not a huge success, butd  a lot of people told me that they love the idea that celebrate your birthday with meaningdul actions.

    I’m staying away from plastic as mindfully as I can with some awareness of reusing anything possible. Still a chicken, but try to talk environment conservation to others as well.

    I just did my first park clean-up with friends to celebrate my birthday. Organizing a clean-up and inviting them to participate is also a way to show their love and support.

    It is going ok. It just seems like single use plastic is hard to avoid regardless of the fact that I take my own bags and produce bags for groceries.

      YES! Single use plastic is everywhere. You are doing great by use your own bags when you go to grocery stores. Try to invite your friends to take the challenge too.

    Didn't use any utensils but have brought my own re-usable to have at work when needed.  Also, spread the word to my co-workers re: use of re-usable utensils.

      Thanks! This is so awesome! Parties and gatherings are always fun, but they sometimes create a lot of single use plastic waste. I have been using regular plates and utensils when I host a party. We have dishwashers to do the work!
