    Life has been in the way of checking in and posting! Just washed my reusable produce bags and really enjoying the super fresh produce from last week.

    Green for 10 years, I now have a vehicle. Inside it by default are glass and stainless drinking containers, two different reusable coffee cups, and a set of bamboo utensils and stainless steel straw. I've never been one to use straws but it is a good option to have if I end up dining out...which is rare.

    Life certainly keeps getting in the way of checking in and posting. However, awareness is catchy. This week we made sure new residents learned about recycling and trash protocols! I also enjoyed a good box of fresh berries from a farm location.

    Heading to the MCCVB this am and share some of my story and anticipating an opportunity to discuss the plastics and single use challenge on the event level.

    Was excited to see the local who daily gets a single use cup at the local coffee house using his own mug after I mentioned the single use problem and shared why I always get ceramic. He now brings his own ceramic mug in every day. :-)

    Was super happy to share the plastic free Monterey with visitors at the MBARI event yesterday in conjunction with chopstix giveaways.

    Hate when the check-ins don't show. Working at MBARI today should be a fun time and good place to talk about ocean plastic!

    Yesterday felt like a derail as some of the items I purchased came in some sort of plasticized packaging. It is so wide scope that it makes my jaw drop. I know there is a local delivery option for produce and that is the next step.

    Still moving forward. Hoping to see some other options at the Farmer's Market today. Disappointed that some of my check ins are missing in panel!
