Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center

Congratulations Carmen Calhoun! I want to thank you for being the top public contributor to the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center Team’s effort to Plastic Free July competition by earning 685 points. Your efforts helped us make a positive impact on the environment. Overall, our team came in 5th place nationally in this...

I need to do better at checking in for sure! But the site is great for accountability and these daily changes can be mastered as a way of life! Plus they are great educational opportunities with friends and family because you explain why you do what you and even the smallest change can have a significant impact!

Trying to keep up while out of town. When looking around I see so much still to be done. Just have to keep at it.

Depending on the day and circumstances, it can be invigorating.

It's help eliminate guilt from when I can't avoid plastic or other less sustainable practices. It's not about being perfect, but it is about working on my own impact. Every little step by each person does make a difference.

It helps you make more sustainable decisions, and it feels pretty good when you find something that works better.

I was delayed to update my progress on this page, but I'd been tracking it personally!

I started strong and am determined to keep it going!

It is going well and it a good starting base for future actions

Yes it would be great if we can move away from a plastic centric world
