Well, it's been a great month and we've accomplished so much! We should continue to challenge ourselves and others to remain as plastic free as we can on a daily basis. Next year, we'll take first place!

I forgot my stainless steel knife at home yesterday so I had to use a plastic one, but I plan on reusing it instead of just throwing it away!

I plan on eventually crocheting an ottoman and I will use plastic bags for stuffing! I'll not only prevent the bags from going in the trash, but I'll also save money on stuffing!
