Went to Home Depot yesterday and was offered a plastic bag to put underneath my plants in the car for the ride home. Politely refused the bag, but the woman who offered it to me stuck it in the cart and said "here it is anyway". Yikes!

Bright side: when I was in Prince Edward Island, Canada, I was asked if I would like a bag with every purchase instead of just given one automatically, and when I asked for "no straw" at a few different restaurants I was told the same thing "oh, we don't use straws". Go PEI!

I'm proud of what we've accomplished this month...2 days left!

Made it a point to bring my reusable water bottle to travel with out of the country last week. Figured before I got to security there'd be a restroom or water fountain to empty my remaining water in. Nope! I've never chugged water so fast in my life! Was very happy to have my bottle with me, though- and not need to purchase any in plastic bottles at the terminal or on the plane!
