    This week I feel like a phony. I received some packages from Amazon, and there was so much plastic wrapping each individual item... ugh.

      That's me every week, Marina. :(   Can we find some low-impact-packaging lobby to join?

    Almost at the half-way mark, and the challenges were easy to adapt into my regular routine, is there a way to incorporate new challenges?

      Did you figure out how to do this? You can 'edit actions' in the left sidebar under your name. Go Marina, you rock!

    I was out of town at the beginning of the month, and didn't log in., but maintained the intention of the month. Reduce use of single use plastics!
