Cecilia Hernandez 7/28/2019 7:15 PMSometimes I can feel myself losing steam, and then an object reminds me of why we are doing this. Just a few days left to get our points in! -
Cecilia Hernandez 7/27/2019 11:38 AMWent to the grower's market with my cloth bags. Among other goodies, I bought more beeswax food covers as a gift. Spreading the joy! -
Cecilia Hernandez 7/25/2019 7:48 PMRemembering the documentary Period. End of Sentence, about women in rural India manufacturing sanitary pads out of cellulose from pine wood and cloth. 99% biodegradable. They went from discarded rags to this. Why did our society get stuck on landfill-clogging products? -

Cecilia Hernandez 7/15/2019 2:36 PMCheerfully lending my spare metal utensils to coworkers at lunch, as soon as I see them searching for the plastic ware. -
Cecilia Hernandez 7/14/2019 5:20 PMVery happy to see that some meat packaging has shifted from styrofoam to a sturdier recyclable plastic. Still plastic, but a step in the right direction. -
Cecilia Hernandez 7/13/2019 3:07 PMWhen I told the waitress we wouldn't be needing chopsticks because we brought our own she exclaimed "Cool! So I won't offer you straws then..." I was glad the purpose of both actions could go without saying.
