Bloomington Ditches Plastic (residents and staff)

I'm struggling with this format again this year. It's so hard to figure out how to do actions or remove actions so you can add different actions. Sigh. Maybe its just user malfunction.

I attended a Climate Action Group presentation with guest speaker Heidi Roop, U of M extension educator and author of The Climate Action Handbook. I will definitely check it out! It's important to me to do something and getting involved a the local level create the changes we will feel in our everyday lives.

This is one of the easiest things to do! Trader Joe's has a bag of wool dryer balls, as do a lot of other retailers. Some specialty stores even have cute animals woven into the surface of the balls.

I had frozen some fresh cranberries in November in a reusable container and took them out last night to make some sauce as I was craving someone tart.

I made waffles for breakfast and wrapped them in beeswax wraps and froze to take to work this week. Syrup went in a tiny mason jar.

I stopped using dryer sheets about a year ago. Great decision.

I brought a reusable water bottle to a class. It’s such a habit for me to do this, it’s pretty much automatic for me now and it’s so easy. It’s hard to understand why more people don’t do this.

I watched and participated in the Breaking up with Plastics; Tips from Local Leaders. I got a few new ideas to implement.

Excited to further my plastic-free home journey!
