    Also, if you're looking for a plastic free meal, make gazpacho. I made some today and while mine didn't end up being plastic free because the bread I bought was in 2 plastic bags, you can definitely make it without bread, make your own bread, or try buying it from a bakery.

    Wow! To me, it feels like the month went by so fast! I can't believe the challenge is coming to an end, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't keep challenging ourselves to keep using less plastic, keep picking up trash, or keep having conversations. This month had some wins and losses for me. It definitely wasn't a plastic-free month, like the 2...

    I tried the new detergent for the first time today! Thanks for introducing me to this option! My machine didn't like using powder (it is a front-loading water saving machine with drawer for detergent), so next time I'll water it down a little before using. Clothes were perfectly clean and I feel much better not using plastic and pollutants.

    One thing that really stuck out to me was that single use plastic utensils really took off because they saved restaurants on labor and the energy required to clean silverware. With a little more effort, we can make choices that are better for the environment.

    Reuse certain clothes/accessories in different ways to create new and creative looks.

    I really like the model of reducing, reusing, and then recycling. I have been encouraging family and friends to find additional uses for items (plastic and otherwise) before disposing of them.

    I’ve been thinking about how sustainable practices can be more difficult depending on your life situation… If you’re a single parent, struggling to keep food on the table and a roof over your head, the climate crisis may feel like a distant intangible issue that you don’t have time to worry about. Or if (like my parents) you’re on a fixed...

    this wasn't to hard for me. now if I could actually just use what I buy with good intentions of using but than end up not I'd be golden
