    What are the benefits of switching to bamboo toothbrushes? How would you implore others in your community to make this switch as well?

    Toothbrushes aren't recyclable and often end up as trash in the ocean which causes a lot of issues. An average person will use 300 toothbrushes over their lifetime. Seems like a no-brainer to use something that is environmentally friendly
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Use Reusable Utensils
    How can you be an advocate for using resusables instead of disposables for the rest of your community? Where are they currently dependent on disposable cutlery, and how can you convince them of the need for change?

    My office has a kitchen w/ silverware, etc. but sometimes when we have Lunch & Learn's, the presenters bring in plastic utensils. I think we should ask them not to do that and make sure that everyone uses our metal silverware!

    Besides having access to fresh herbs and vegetables, what benefits will you see from growing your own garden?

    Gardens are a benefit for my mind and body as well as the fresh veggies. It's super fun to grow things and eat them, plus I love learning about different plants and types of veggies that I already know. Heirlooms are awesome!

    How does the act of picking up litter connect you more to your community?

    Picking up trash in my community helped me pay attention to my surrounding more and actually show that I care about where I live. I'm hoping that other saw what I was doing and that it maybe inspired them to do the same.
