Recent updates from this team-
July 31 at 8:45 AMI find it very ironic that that plastics, a material meant to last, has become our main single-use product go-to material.
-
July 31 at 6:39 AMSocial media is one way that we can display sustainable actions. The more people see that other people are reducing their plastic waste, the more is becomes the social norm.
-
July 31 at 6:26 AMNew Jersey's EJMAP is a great tool for finding overburdened communities. You can overlap the map with waste facilities and gain insight on where community stressors are concentrated.
-
July 31 at 6:21 AMI am still deciding on a microfiber solution for my washing machine. I looked into the in-machine catchers but I'm a little skeptical of their effectiveness. It seems that an attached filter might be the best choice but there is a larger expense and installation might be difficult.
-
July 28 at 1:19 PMSingle use plastics can leach chemicals into your food and drink. Thermal paper receipts contain BPA.
-
July 28 at 9:23 AMI feel like I'm pretty sustainability-minded, so I was surprised to learn that if everyone lived like me, we would need 3.4 Earths. My worst category is transportation, because I drive a lot and I do not have an electric or hybrid car.
-
July 28 at 7:30 AMIf anybody is from Camden County, I found a nice soap and other detergent refill store called "The Refill Market" in Haddon Township and a shop you can buy bulk bird seed called "House Finch" in Collingswood!
-
July 28 at 7:21 AMOnly a few more days to go!
-
July 28 at 6:47 AMWe are in our final few days of the EcoChallenge! It has flown by! I think the litter pickup daily action has become a habit for me - I can't just leave it there!
-
July 28 at 6:46 AMWhen it comes to health and safety items, I tend to overbuy to be extra prepared. I would probably benefit more by being more organized so I can find the things I need when I need them.
