Terry Wilson 7/29/2019 9:37 AMThis past weekend we had a family gathering. I was in charge of bringing the plates,napkins and utensils. i brought bamboo products. It began a topic of conversation. We talked about ways we could contribute to getting rid of our plastics and what they could use instead. I felt like a few of the family members were ready to change their habits after our conversation.-

Terry Wilson 7/24/2019 5:55 AMWent to the Nascar Races in New Hampshire this weekend. I made sure that all my friends and family that were drinking with straws were using either paper straws or metal. I purchased both to hand out and even got our camping neighbors to join in. They were all excited about his and asked where they could purchase the metal straws. So excited for this challenge and how it can change peoples lives for the good! -
Terry Wilson 7/08/2019 5:46 AMThis weekend I found reusable plastic fruit and veggie bags. I picked them up and went shopping. While I was at the checkout several people noticed my bags and wanted to know where they could get them and how cool it was that I chose to use them. People are aware and this is good. -
Terry Wilson 6/26/2019 5:50 AMThis challenge has been a great way for me to keep on track with my recycling and to remember to buy things that are not wrapped in plastic. I have bought several metal straws and keep them on me and at my home. I am getting better at bringing my own bags to stores and when I go to a restaurant to bring my own left over container. Thank you Eco Challenge for making me a better save the planet person. We here at Mystic Aquarium do great things!
