I love going to thrift stores because it is like shopping at a hundred stores in one! So many unique items and brands and you never know what you will find.

Kimberly Zimmerman 7/29/2024 7:18 AMI've been in a rut and sad to see so many people in our community complaining about litter and dog poop. This challenge was just what I needed to provide that extra motivational push to not complain, just take action and pickup the litter, scoop the poop and dispose of properly. Seeing a clean neighborhood feels nice and there isn't nearly as much complaining from our neighbors. win-win -

REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Embrace ImperfectionHow has embracing imperfection impacted your plastic-free journey?
Kimberly Zimmerman 7/19/2024 11:04 AMUgh, it's so hard to be 100% plastic free. Wanted to not buy herbs in little plastic containers in the grocery produce section. Bought a herb plant instead with the intention of planting it for continual herbs at home. The plant pot and wrapper were plastic. :(-

REFLECTION QUESTIONFamily + Pets All Natural Pet ToysIn what ways is supplying your pet with all natural pet toys better for your pet, better for you, and better for the environment?
Kimberly Zimmerman 7/18/2024 1:53 PMVisited a dog food store and successfully walked out with new dog food information and zero new toys. The hide a treat toys are so popular now, so I'm just using his current toys in new ways - hiding treats in them then wrapping them up in his blanket and under his bed. Takes him a while to figure things out.-

REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Keep My Community CleanHow does the act of picking up litter connect you more to your community?
Kimberly Zimmerman 7/18/2024 1:50 PMInstead of power walking throuh the neighborhood, I slowed down, let the dog sniffed and started noticing and picking up so much litter.
