Crit Salaz 7/27/2019 7:03 PMIt’s hard to check in every day...but I’m doing this. -
Crit Salaz 7/27/2019 7:02 PMI haven’t checked in here in many days...my refilling station just hit over 5000 single-use plastic containers saved...needless to say, I’ve been busier doing my own ecochallenge, which has helped 100s of others do their own part. I’m tired. I think I deserve 5000 points for those bottles not in circulation. Now I will sleep for a night & day. Thank you all that are committed. Much love -
Crit Salaz 7/19/2019 7:04 AMI raised $552 forcAlbatross, the film, by presenting to my community. The entire theatre was in tears & many have reached out to me since, telling me about their plastic-free pledges. This deserves 100 points -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFamily Discover TogetherWhat concerns you the most about how we are affecting the planet? Consider both local and global actions.
Crit Salaz 7/01/2019 5:32 PMI took this beyond family today & took some time to talk with a pharmacist aboutthe plastic pill bottles. I practically begged him to refill my levothyroxin in the existing bottle. I have to take the stuff because of all the pollutants in the air, food, water, etc...this is my concern. Sooooo many people need prescriptions,due to harm from the poison world. The least they could do is refill the damn bottles! I feel like I’m hanging my head against a wall. Le sigh.... -
