    I wanted to support our wonderful Columbus Zoo. I picked things I knew I could complete.

    Have you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.

    I refused 2 plastic bags today since I could just carry my couple things with no bag.

    I think I'm doing pretty good. Tonight is trash night and I see that I have about 3 times as much in my recycling bins than in my trash can!
