Gail Brown 7/31/2019 11:50 AMOK, composting dog poo is a lot harder and there are many concerns about what is in their poo not good for composting. I think I will stick with getting a regular composter! -

Gail Brown 7/18/2019 3:24 PMWell, I know which challenge I can definitely keep for each day - picking up a piece of trash. There is an endless supply especially if you walk your dog every day! -
Gail Brown 7/02/2019 12:20 PMBirthday cake at the office. Didn't use plastic fork but used silverware I brought to work. Lots of other staff did the same! -
Gail Brown 7/01/2019 2:19 PMFirst day of challenge - I brought my own silverware to work for drink/food, used a bento box for lunch rather than sandwich bag, and brought reusable cup. Forgot to pick up trash on my walk today - will remember tomorrow! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Use Reusables at WorkIt is often true that we only have control over our own actions and not the collective community. How can you lead by example when it comes to switching disposables for reusable dishes in your community?
