    Today my litter bag overflowed. Needed up carrying bottles in my free hand. The dog almost had to walk herself. Focused on recyclable bottles and Styrofoam. Waaaay over my daily goal.

    Picked up five tiny pieces of trash this morning (most of which were plastic). Didn't see many bottles on my walk this morning, but tomorrow I'm taking a bag for them (forgot this morning so what I picked up was in neighboring yards). Picked up more than five pieces of recyclable trash downtown yesterday while working on my volunteering goal!

    Yesterday we went out to eat and to do some clothes shopping for work trips (planned purchases). We put the leftovers into containers we brought from home, skipped the straws, and put the clothing purchases into reusable shopping bags.

    Started off this morning with a short walk---picked up way more than 5 pieces of plastic trash and got them into the home recycling bin. Also picked up a nylon drawstring bag that I will use to collect more trash.
