Rachel Munson 7/30/2019 8:45 PMBy picking up trash I am so much more aware of the amount of trash that is lying around. I started with ten pieces but end up doing a lot more than that! -
Rachel Munson 7/30/2019 8:43 PMI was at dinner the other night with some friends and brought my own Simply Straws glass straw. It was such a great conversation starter. We talked about single use straws and our overall use of single use plastics. -
Rachel Munson 7/30/2019 8:35 PMOh! And those Cora balls sound awesome!! As much as I try to eliminate polyester from my wardrobe, it is nearly impossible to be 100% polyester free BUT if these Cora balls work as they say they do, I won't feel nearly as bad. -
Rachel Munson 7/30/2019 8:32 PMAt Starbucks today and noticed they added a sign about why they no longer offer straws except o. Request only due to the new law and to have patience with them. It just made me wonder at all the customers getting upset enough to make them post that sign. Why are straws such a needed item??? -
