    What is the benefit of using bar soaps or refilling your travel sized containers? Is this an action you think you will keep in your life?

    As I am traveling this week, I have done just this. Instead of spending money and buying disposable, plastic soap and hygiene containers, I chose to purchase reusable containers that allow me to draw from my larger containers at home.

    Having a garden allows me to reduce packaging that I would otherwise be using at the grocery store.
