The electronics recycling center I used doesn't just recycle components - they also refurbish and resell as much as possible, so they're providing a great option for the community to get refurbished tech (including gaming computers, laptops, components, and accessories) locally and less expensively, while keeping valuable resources out of landfills and in the circular economy.

I've had a Guppyfriend bag for several years but have been forgetting to use it recently. I'm glad that this challenge helped me get back into the habit!

I used to be so particular about not using ANY plastics. It pretty much became my whole personality (even more so than it still is 😅). Eventually I realized that while there is a LOT that we can do as individuals, we also need top-down change to happen at the same time, and depriving myself of little things that bring me joy - although packaged in plastic - isn't really doing any good for anyone. A sustainable lifestyle has to be personally sustainable too. So now my motto is "do what you can, when you can, where you can."

Oh gosh... I have several! My top three though would probably be black bean tacos with avocado cilantro lime sauce, lentil stuffed pepper soup, and chickpea tikka masala. All of them are so filling, SO tasty, and super easy to make! 10/10 would recommend 👌

I always thought bioplastics had no negative impacts, boy was I wrong and that was what surprised me! Our city doesn't have waste management, it is handled via a private company and yes they are accepted!

Yes, I first learned about the dangers of balloons to wildlife at the Zoo. I have shared this messaging with friends and family around the holidays. We are a no balloon family!
