    Im noticing alot of plastic free straws at Target.  Wondering if they were always there or am I just conscious of them due to plastic free month.

      I feel the same way. Are major stores actually carrying and displaying more eco-friendly products recently or were they there all along and now I'm just always on the lookout!?

    Finally recycled my old Samsung 55' tv at Best Buy.  Cost 25 bucks, but felt great that it was being recycled properly.  I see so many old and broken tvs at dumpsters.

    Its so frustrating picking up litter when there is a trash can closeby.  Actually witness kids throughing their trash on the ground.
