    My challenge is going great, today I made my own tomato sauce and used glass to store it. So difficult... Why do we make easy things look so hard?

    What are the benefits of switching to bamboo toothbrushes? How would you implore others in your community to make this switch as well?

    The bamboo toothbrushes are biodegradable, naturally antimicrobial and sustainable.
    To convince friends I will talk about the benefits.

    I live in Aurora and I learned that not all plastic is recyclable in the blue bin. So, I separate plastic bags from rigid plastic. The plastic bags can be recycle in some places such as Canadian Superstore.

    Why not use our own container or cutlery at work, out of our houses or even parties? So easy.
