I have been changing the way I store and wrap things in the kitchen lately. I use to put everything in plastic ziploc bags. I literally would have like 5 different size bags. My favorite ones were the snack size. But, those are a thing of the past for me now. No more saran wrap and plastic zip lock bags! Check out these new recyclable paper bags I purchased! :)

I really want to develop better Planet Positive choices in my day to day living habits. Joining this challenge is allowing me the opportunity to learn, explore, and grow. I'm excited about making some positive life changes with the challenge.
Since the restrictions that COVID-19 has required of our society, trying to use your own cup might present new barriers, as well as new opportunities for creative problem solving. How were you able to achieve success on this action? How can you make it a long-term habit?
I used one of my Starbucks cups this morning when traveling to Sunday brunch. The use of the reusable cup is somewhat a easy habit for me currently. The more challenging thing is remembering to bring it back in the house when I get home so it can be washed. :)
