Besides having access to fresh herbs and vegetables, what benefits will you see from growing your own garden?

What kinds of items have been easy for you to find used? What has been hard?

Have you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.

Yes, I see less waste in the trash can while I go take out the trash. I also see people feel better about themself for not using wasteful plastic straws.

Today I decided to cut out all plastic straws and went to Target to buy metal straws. This should cut down on plastic waste within my house.
