    In what ways is supplying your pet with all natural pet toys better for your pet, better for you, and better for the environment?

    I think that giving my dog natural pet toys, like bones, gives my dog more entertainment. Unlike other manufactured toys, I find that my dog likes to chew natural toys more. By not buying the plastic toys, I am reducing my negative impact of the environment.

    I find it easier to use reusable bags and containers than it is plastic ones. I think just being able to have them around and being able to wash and reuse them makes it easier. This is mostly because they aren't things that you could have to much of. I find them to be more practical and easier to grab and go.

    I'm currently ordering more reusable straws to have around the house and keep with me when I leave my house.

    Have you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.

    I see more and people with reusable straws around. I first started with my family by buying stainless steel metal straws. I also started to see more and more people with different variations of reusable straws on social media as well as around my community.

    How can you be an advocate for using resusables instead of disposables for the rest of your community? Where are they currently dependent on disposable cutlery, and how can you convince them of the need for change?

    I'm bringing some of my reusable items around with me and teach people about the impact of these reusable items. Hopefully they will also share this new information with other people.
