    How can you advocate for the importance of reducing packaging to the rest of your friends, family and larger community?

    I will be the example I want to see, so my friends and family can see if I can do it, so can they! My soft hair will also be an advocate, since many people are hesitant to try new beauty products.

    I am excited to make lifelong habits out of this. So far, I have brought my own personal cup and straw to Starbucks, used reusable towels instead of paper, and used my own utensils while eating out since I created this account.

    Do some research on the toxic side affects of aluminum deodorant. After reading the side effects, can you think of instances where you may have experienced the side effects from this form of deodorant?

    I have been using fluoride free tooth paste and  aluminum free deodorant for so long, thankfully I won’t/haven’t experienced side effects.

    What are the economic and personal benefits of switching to bar soap/shampoo/conditioner or refillable bottle options?

    I have saved a lot of money by switching to bar soap. I use a 2 in 1, so it kills two birds with one stone for the price of one!

    Have you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.

    Yes! Today when I went into Starbucks to use my personal cup and straw, I noticed two other young girls also using their own personal cup and straws.
