Co-worker brought in pie I used my own metal fork instead of disposable plastic fork.

I paid for a Terracycle mixed plastic recycling box they recycle black plastic it will NOT go into the city's recycling.

Started using a plastic-free lavender deodorant. I used to use Tom's of Maine, but all the stores stopped carrying it and since I have been shopping the Zero Waste Store online, I have made some slow changes to the house: Plastic free toilet plunger and holder, natural loofahs in the shower, yarn balls in the dryer, laundry detergent sheets, etc.

Picked up someone's big gulp plastic cup they throw out of their car window at the intersection of getting off 394W to Ridgedale Dr. Put in recycling. There are many of these, but I can only reach one.

Haven't bought plastic sandwich baggies in years but we keep getting them from other people with leftovers so I reuse them to store food in the freezer or take lunch to work.

Bought a salad it came with a plastic fork. I didn't use it I used my own and left it in the breakroom.

Took out recycling and compostables to the bins in the alley to be picked up next Thursday.

Took all the plastic bags, plastic wrap, and plastic shipping bags to the store to be recycled. Did not buy the brownies in a plastic container baked chocolate chip cookies at homes and had no plastic waste.

Washed the plastic tray raw chicken comes in and recycled.
