Looking forward to the next Eco Challenge. I learn how my positive actions do make a difference in my community.

We're having issues near my community with PFAS found in well water. It doesn't break down and is consider "forever" since it will never break down and could appear as micro plastics in our bodies. It's scary to know it could eventually appear in our drinking water and food supply. As for the "flushable" wipes they're...

Working in the Garden is peaceful. I can relax, dream and focus on positive things.

I had the dryer vent and ducts cleaned several weeks ago. I clean the filter each and every time I use the dryer.

This year’s challenge was fun—like last year I wanted to see how well I would do with some daily actions that I was already trying to make into habits. Next year I want to CHALLENGE myself to pick up some activities that I’ve never done before.

Remember appreciating this photo art someone shared at beginning of July plastic free and want to share it again. May we have begun to turn off the spigot on this and more!

Just saw my last trophy/sparkles for this challenge - I admit it is just fun to see. Realize next Eco-challenge I decide to participate in I better pick more challenges!! :) This has been a fun learning experience and more awareness of plastic impact has been huge! I'll get more of those books read now. Congratulations on all we did here folks!!

Old electronics are usually only considered old by their current owner. If that tech isn't broken, someone (somewhere) could probably use it just as well as if it were brand new. Taking the electronics to a business to get fixed up probably has the potential to double their lifespan for its new owner.

I usually trust my eyes and my nose when it comes to purchasing or discarding food nearing their expiration dates--they're not always accurate!

Potentially every single-use item can be harmful. If it's only meant to be used once, think about how quickly someone can just discard it on the ground and leave it to rot. When it doesn't break down, the impact on the environment from all of these items piles up!
