Candice Canady 7/07/2019 1:44 PMNot only did I avoid using any to-go cups or straws today, but I also finally remembered to bring a reusable to-go box just in case! -

REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyleWhich documentary did you choose to watch? What did you learn?
Candice Canady 7/04/2019 5:41 PMWatched A Plastic Ocean and it has me fired up! Feeling so frustrated and energized. I have to say, Bag It is still my favorite plastic documentary with the right amount of optimism, though! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONPersonal CareDisposable tampons and menstrual pads are often quite expensive. What are the economic and personal benefits of this switch for you?
Candice Canady 7/03/2019 9:46 AMI already use a Divacup (fabulous for road trips and scuba diving!), but wanted another option so I'm going with re-usable pads. I already use organic cotton pads which have minimal plastic, but am trying something not disposable!
