    This challenge was more difficult than I expected because if I didn't have a reusable bag with me, than I found that the only option I had was to use the bags a store provided. A good tip I have is to keep a reusable bag in your computer bag when at work.

    Caring for the environment means helping to maintain a healthy and clean place for our pets and all of us to grow up in.

    By using refillable bottles I am always sure to have my favorite product with me (versus whatever travel size products I might find) while also doing something good for the environment.
