    Through out these 31 days of trying to be plastic free I’ve realized how much stuff is in plastic it’s literally everywhere. in order to avoid plastic you really do have to change a lot of your life style and think out of the box which has been fun but sometimes hard. I will continue to improve my skills with being plastic free, thanks to this challenge I’ve already started my plastic free Journey and learn many new things on the way!!!! Thanks!!!
