    I’m definitely more aware of my plastic usage and how I can make a difference.  I still have a way to go and intend to keep working on it.  I now carry around my own straw and have ordered a SodaStream to eliminate buying more plastic bottles.  This was an effective challenge for me.  Thanks!

    I’m becoming so much more aware of how much plastic there is in my life.  It’s raised my awareness and is pushing me to think of creative substitutes.
