    I learned that through my actions I have reduced my annual plastic usage to about 22 kg per year, which is a good start

      When you sign in you should be on the dashboard page. Scroll down to the action(s) you have selected and click on the check in button for each action you have selected. Hope that helps.

    I have switched to a dishcloth I knit, and it works great!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    Why do you think these products have so much plastic packaging? Who is the plastic packaging really serving -- the consumer, the producer, or someone else?

    I have been thinking about what fruits we can buy that are not in plastic. Will have to stop buying berries!

      We buy a lot of fruit too and finding fruit that is not in plastic packaging is really hard sometimes!
