Today i want to At least fiveplastic bags will be recycled rather than being thrown in the trash. Instead of throwing them in the garbage, I will take them to a plastic bag recycling drop-off so they can be properly recycled.

This one was tricky. I bought reusable bags from target that saves on plastic waste.

I made a disinfectant with white vinegar, alcohol and lemon. I am able to use this all around my house to clean, rather than using multiple products

Our conversation went really well. We watched the Plastic Pollution Coalition videos on how to talk to family about plastic pollution and how to make simple changes that can go a long way in cleaning up the environment and reducing plastic waste. Some of the things we discussed were how to avoid single-use plastic items like plastic straws...

I haven’t noticed a change in my immediate community about messaging around reusable straws, but I am aware that several communities in Minnesota participate in the The Last Plastic Straw movement, such as Minneapolis and Bloomington. This challenge encourages individuals and businesses, specifically restaurants, to consider plastic pollution...

For starters, I'm able to get the food I want, typically want and make portions that are reasonable for me.

I think manufacturers and companies use plastic packaging because it's cheap and convenient for them. It additionally extends shelf life which saves them money as well.

That feeling when you actually remember your reusable bags before going to the store!

My challenge is going well, and I feel like I'm helping out the environment in many ways!

Today, I tried to make my own meal with things that I grew in my indoor garden.
