    Summer vacation in Maine -- one week on the road -- was a challenge!  I knew it would be, and so carried around water and coffee containers, and even a little metal tiffin for any leftovers.  And while I wasn't aiming for zero use of SUP, I still had to be on my toes when going into any food service establishment.  You pretty much need to tell...

    By buying secondhand, I'm not restricted to just the styles that are available in retail. By shopping secondhand, I have been able to develop my own personal style because I know what I like and I really have to search for it, rather than following popular trends of the moment.

    I feel empowered when I make something I would normally buy in plastic. For example, I have been cutting down on sweets I normally buy packaged by making my own desserts (cherry cobbler this week!).

    I pick up trash daily along the lake shoreline I live on. I feel pride knowing that I'm cleaning up my community so others may enjoy it as much as I do.
