Lawrence Team

 I have always recycled but this challenge taught me more about reducing and reusing.  Grateful for the new ideas and habits!   

Well, today is the day...the last day for gathering points for gathering plastic and trash...guess it’s all about doing it for the good of the Earth from here out! Giz thinks that’s a good purpose!! Thanks, Katie, for getting us energized and aware of our neighborhood needs...I believe we are making a difference on our local streets. We are...

Can’t believe tomorrow is the last day of our challenge...we’ll still keep picking up...become the habit they wanted it to become! Thanks, Katie!!!

Humid start today...neighbors are getting better about dropping trash...YEA!!! I think some still think I’m a homeless lady collecting cans! More mushrooms...not a great pic...Giz wouldn’t keep still.

Cool morning...humidity is setting in...glad we got our walk in...God truly provides...Gizzy had to go out quickly this morning so I forgot my garbage bag...I used a poopy bag to pick up small things...THEN...there it was...a Safeway bag so I could pick up more, bigger items! Yea, God!!!! This tree is in the front of my property...it reminds me...

Used my water bottle instead of the provided single use bottles at a wedding rehearsal dinner

Got an early start today...dragged my 83-yo neighbor Lorraine on our 1.3 mile trek through the area. Picked up lots of trash and plastic! We haven’t had a lot of rain, but you wouldn’t know it by these mushrooms! I think the Smurfs live in the mushroom colony. Have an awesome Eco day!!!

If I can be more careful when I open a disposable container (if I have no other choice but disposable), there's a better chance that I could reuse it, even if just to hold some small food item like a hard boiled egg or a muffin.

Got out early...Giz is feeling better so we took one of our longer walks...picked up a lot of stuff people just toss away...one person actually stood less than FIVE FEET from a bus-stop garbage can and SHREDDED...SHREDDED a McDonald’s cup... and threw all of it on the ground! Let me find that person...plastic (including their straw)...

Quiet day...picked up late today!
