    Today at the grocery store instead of grabbing a 2lb or 5lb plastic bag of carrots I bought carrots in bulk.  Should be a no brainer but I never thought to buy them that way before. Unfortunately I did buy cherries and those came in a plastic bag.

      Step by step is great! You'll get there and ask them for other options.

    Working on my vegetable garden spot. Bought potting soil from Last Chance Mercantile. Fill a bag for $5.00 per bag.

    Today I tried using a paper straw. We went to Jamba Juice in downtown Monterey. They use paper straws. The paper straw didn’t hold up very well in the smoothie. After about 10 minutes it started turning into mush. Had to throw them out and used my stainless steel straws I had brought with me.

    I can easily pick up 4 pieces of trash in the break room at work. Some of my coworkers have trouble getting their trash into the appropriate trash bins (unfortunately).

    I found a new hair color brand to try. It’s called iroiro. They use pouches instead of plastic bottles to package their products. They are reducing their carbon footprint by 70 % since they can pack more products into a shipment versus products packaged in plastic bottles.
