    Used a paper straw and glass cup today. Also, bought a reusable popcorn tin. Saves one time use buckets, and it's designed well too. Hope everyone is doing well. Continue helping the environment 👍

    Well, I tried to use the DIY toothpaste I made and, ... Let's just say I won't pursue a career in food science😂. The taste was terrible, but I knew I saved the time, money, and resources of a toothpaste bottle. In the meantime, hope everyone is doing well with the challenge. I've been wearing a pin lately that says BYO LBC, and up until I now I thought it meant that everyone can bring their own reusables instead of single use plastics, but i recently found out that it is a store in Long Beach that sells reusable goods without waste, so yay for that! Maybe if someone needs help with the challenge or following their daily tasks, you could check out the store and find some helpful tips and tricks. Don't forget to check out what the Aquarium has posted to make your own products😄
