Kate Abney 7/04/2019 9:14 AMA person normally only posts something to social media if it is important or means something to them and wants people to know about it. (So when you see someone who makes a post related to conservation, you should make sure they know about Plastic Free July!) -
Kate Abney 7/04/2019 9:09 AMMy parents went shopping just now and when they came home they told me that they put back a giant bag of popcorn because it had six small bags inside of it (only about 3 ounces of popcorn in total) and they got a different one! -
Kate Abney 7/03/2019 1:22 PMMy family ate at one of our favorite restaurants last night, and I noticed that they automatically give everyone a straw with their drink, so I decided that I'm going to write a letter to them about having an opt in straw policy! -
