    It’s the end of the month, but not the end of the challenge! Glad to go out on a high note and be able to complete a few of those challenges that require a weekend shopping trip. Still working on the razors and some of the larger behavioral changes. But, see you in a year and you better watch your back, plastics. #HotPlasticSwass

    So happy this month with my reusable sandwich bags! I treated myself to a set in shades of blue and have been using them every day in my lunchbox. Not only do they work great, they are fashion!!

    On the war path writing letters today. I got Toms of Maine done (for you, Erica!) this morning, and now I’m going for Stop n Shop, and a few more before the end of this month! Trying to be encouraging and light-hearted, but reminding these companies that making the change is key.

    Talking with cousins today who are afraid of tap water and live the plastic water bottle life. Can’t always change minds, but I think a filter pitcher is on the Christmas list now.

    So excited to be able to go plastic free at the local farm stand today. I was debating over mushrooms and mint for an upcoming BBQ, and was disappointed in the shrink-wrap everywhere. Then I looked a little longer and BAM....free choice mushrooms for my reusable produce bag and a bunch of fresh mint tied with a little twist-tie. Felt good to finally pull it off!

      WELL done Celina.  Way to hold off and you were rewarded for it.  I hope they are the best tasting mushrooms ever
