    I've been slowly convincing my roommates to join me on a household compost program thanks to the resources available through MRWMD and Bea Johnson. If you don't know where to start, take a look at this presentation. http://www.mrwmd.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Zero-Waste-Living.pdf

    We had a great turnout for our beach cleanup at McAbee yesterday, July 11th from 11:00 a.m - 2:30 p.m., where more the 60 volunteers joined us across the board from MBA, SSA and the general public. We had a great opportunity to engage with the general public and spread awareness on the dangers of single-use plastics!.

    After seeing Bea Johnson's presentation in the Auditorium on Earth Day, I went out and bought a double edged re-usable razor to move away from disposables. Clean Shave and much longer life cycle of the blades with proper care
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Cook a Zero-Plastic Waste Meal
    Do an inventory of your kitchen to see how many single-use plastics you've used in the past. What are some resuable alternatives to these commonly used products? What would your impact be if you switched all the single-use products from your inventory to reusable?

    All inventory is currently reusable. Need to find an "best practice" for purchasing Meat/Chicken with no plastic
