    I love how individuals and families are cutting back on plastic but it hurts when buying a food item (this time frozen fish) only to find out after that each individual piece is wrapped in its own plastic. Come on big companies, unnecessary!

    This challenge is getting easier. My biggest hurdle is my memory - remembering my reusable bags when I go shopping
