Reflection QuestionPersonal Care Brusha Brusha BrushaWhat are the benefits of switching to bamboo toothbrushes? How would you implore others in your community to make this switch as well?
Julia Jones 7/24/2020 7:20 PMA benefit of having a bamboo toothbrush is that there is less waste going into the landfill, especially since it is suggested to exchange toothbrushes every few months. I can educate people in my community about the benefits of bamboo toothbrushes and implore them to make a switch. -

Reflection QuestionFood Say No to Plastic BagsHow difficult was this challenge for you? What made it easy or difficult?
Julia Jones 7/09/2020 7:57 AMThis was easy for me because I always strive to not use plastic. One of the easiest plastic items to avoid is plastic bags. These are super easy because there are so many alternatives such as reusable bags or containers. -
