Rosemary Brown 7/31/2019 4:54 AMNoticed I have made some family members more eco-conscious! Noticed them skipping the straws when eating out! It's a small step...but every little bit helps! -
Rosemary Brown 7/15/2019 5:19 AMFriends invited us to go out on their boat and have a picnic lunch. Brought along cloth napkins, Corelle plates, stainless steel utensils for a total of for 6 people. They were all onboard and happy to participate in saving the earth! Saved a lot of plastic utensils, paper napkins and plates from entering our landfills! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyleWhat is the benefit of using bar soaps or refilling your travel sized containers? Is this an action you think you will keep in your life?
Rosemary Brown 7/05/2019 6:44 PMSwitched to bar soaps in my gym bag and travel bag about 3 months ago. Thought it was going to be too messy, but I figured out a way to make it work. I wrap the soap in super absorbent cloth and then I place that in a wash cloth hand mitt. By the time I use it again, it has dried completely and no mess. Love using bar soaps since there is very little packaging and 0% plastic packaging! YES!!! -
