San Antonio Zoo Crew

I keep a grocery bag of single use plastic to tie up into a ball to put in recycling (per city guidelines). I noticed that at the beginning of July, weekly I was putting at least 2 soccer-ball sized bags of single-use plastic into the recycling bin. Now, I've been putting in 1 soccer-ball sized bag. 

Buying used keeps "old" items from ending up in the trash. I feel good about buying used. 

Using smaller reusable bags when buying loose produce like apples, lemons, etc. 

Not directly in my community; however, down in South Padre I did notice that the Hilton hotel I stayed at did not give out single use straws with their beverages, including mixed drinks. 

Good known source of dirt for a garden.

reduce or not buy bottled water, period.
