Ruth Braun 7/11/2019 8:03 AMI know that composting is not part of this challenge. But since I have been concentrating on decreasing my plastic use, I thought about decreasing my trash output. Much of what I throw away at home is food scraps, so I am going to start utilizing the Zoo's compost program soon!-

Ruth Braun 7/08/2019 8:00 AMUsing a reusable container for water is part of my normal routine so it is easy for me to complete that one. I pack my lunch, so baggies were always a part of that process. I have switched to reusable containers.-
