    As I was doing my grocery shopping I really paid attention to all the single-use plastics throughout the store. They were everywhere. I felt overwhelmed by all of it and had a sense of "does the little I do make a difference?" Yes, it does. Especially if lots of people follow along. It's kind of like voting. People express the idea that their one vote doesn't make a difference, but in the grand scheme of things, every vote makes a difference. We really need to pay attention to who we vote for and what their stand is on recycling and trying to save our planet.

    I joined this challenge in an effort to challenge myself to be better at doing what I can to create a healthier and more positive environment. I believe that if everyone makes just a small change in how they live, it will have a huge impact on our world.
