Incarnation Lutheran Creation Care

Thanks for the challenge - - and all the helpful information you provided. Hope it improves our lives and our planet.

My social media activity is only e-mail BUT I do write a monthly blog for a church publication on hunger-related issues. Food waste is something that can be talked about in terms of how one uses/disposes of take-out options. Plastics do not have to be involved, do they?

Brought my own ceramic cup to church for coffee hour today - - no Styrofoam for me! And had a wonderful time dining at another church's reception in the afternoon, all on "real" church china. Hooray!

Ate a BIG lunch out today but consumed all of it - - no Styrofoam container to bring home. That also means no munchy snack here this evening and only a healthy fruit as my "dinner".

Hard getting rid of styrofoam at our church - - a large supply was laid in some time ago and we are trying hard to use it up and THEN go to something compostable! In the meantime, it keeps appearing at our coffee hours. Hopefully, we'll drink our way to a better world soon!

Cutting up "too-bad-to-take-to-thrift-store" clothing and linens makes great rags - - and I can get them into the right sized pieces for using as cleaning cloths and wash and re-wash them endlessly.

Enjoyed reading about the possibilities with pets - - but haven't any! Occasional spiders do NOT count!

Area of improvement is bathroom.

Bar shampoo works well -- I am surprised.

Tough day - - I did need a straw for beverage dining out at lunch - - and only plastic was available and the paper cup was too flimsy to pick up and drink otherwise! Backsliding!
