August 1 at 9:40 AMI thought of one more thing. During this month, I learned about the Plastics Hub in Appalachia, using fracked gas. It made me realize we need to get to the root of the problem, which is not to create plastic in the first place. https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/insight/fracking-endgame-locked-plastics-pollution-and-climate-chaos?

August 1 at 9:35 AMI learned that I use Social Media more than the phone. I would have liked to make "Community: Share My Actions" a daily thing instead of a one-time challenge. My "Create Your Own Action" never showed up. I was trying to spread the word about a new recycling law in my county, but was not able to get "credit"...

July 29 at 11:39 AMI realized I don't always log out, so how do you know if I checked in, if I come back to the website the next day?

July 29 at 11:32 AMMy first action (post on Social Media) should have been a daily action, not a one time. Today, I posted this to Facebook and also shared it with my Plastic Free Team. It is 4 min, about how the Plastics Industry is killing us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=269&v=OFMau-t3QaI

July 29 at 11:30 AMCreate your own action: On Friday I visited a college, in Howard County that has beautifully paired trash and recycling bins, and has hydration stations instead of water bottles. I complemented the facilities manager and was inspired.

Now the vote will go to the National DNC on Aug 22. Plastics are part of Climate Crisis Debate. In fact there are plans to build a plastics...

July 21 at 2:38 PMCreate Your Own Challenge - yesterday I was at a civic meeting where I announced about the new county law where trash/recycle bins must be paired. It was a good educational opportunity. Plus they had the bins paired correctly, but people still put the wrong items in the wrong bins! They had plastic coffee stirrers and plastic cream cups. We...

July 12 at 5:48 AMWe are planning for the Labor Day Festival, trying to decide if we will have two paired bins (trash & recycling) or three (compost). It will be a group decision.

July 11 at 7:57 AMI have not been very good about checking in. My "Create Your Own" is still not showing up. a) I talked to NDC to be sure that their Compost Container is for PAPER, in addition to bottles and cans. Leah said yes, but I think it should be better marked. b) Michael and I bought BAMBOO straws, to try out. We have been a little better...
