    I had a good time talking with a friend today about all the challenges of reducing plastic waste and how we could do much more to decrease it.  It is a big challenge as we really have gotten use to all the conveniences of plastic and how its such a big part of our lives and in so many products we purchase, even clothing!

    We are not thinking of the long term consequences of our actions that pollute.  It seems like a minor impact individually but we have to remember the world population is so large now and most of us have a huge carbon footprint.  We need to take responsibility to ensure that the climate is not irreparably damaged and that pollution is stopped. ...

    It's sad that Tim Hortons only accepts reusable cups for coffee.

    I realize that most of my daily challenges are about shopping and I am significantly trying to shop less/buy less so I often only shop about once a week or even less.  I don't ever do fast food or even coffee shops, preferring to make smoothies, tea, or coffee at home.  When I do shop though, it is typically at Costco which is a single use...

    I realize that picking up litter is an easy thing that I can do to make my community more in harmony with nature.  It makes me feel like an active participant in keeping our neighbourhoods clean and beautiful and setting a good example to those who might be inclined to litter.
