Amber MacDonald 7/19/2019 12:36 PMWe're less than 2,500 points from the top 3 now - I bet we can do it! Setting a reminder on my phone to log-in this weekend :) -
Amber MacDonald 7/16/2019 11:29 AMLooking around my desk and noticing how many office products are made of plastic parts! Lanandra introduced me to these pens made from 86% recycled plastic bottles awhile back, seems like a good option but not sure if they themselves are recyclable. They're refillable as well which is nice! Anyone else looked into plastic free pens and such? http://pilotpen.us/brands/bottle-2-pen-b2p/bottle-2-pen-ball-point/ -
Amber MacDonald 7/12/2019 1:51 PMUpdated The Wild Things, our young professionals group, on our Plastic Free July progress at our meeting this week - they were especially thrilled to hear we're beating the Aquarium :) I encouraged those who haven't joined us yet to do so - and a big shout out to those that already have! Go team!-
Andrea Lewicki 7/13/2019 6:43 AMThanks for sharing our progress Amber! I look forward to more Wild Things joining our team!

Amber MacDonald 7/10/2019 7:55 AMIn looking for local beach cleanups this month I came across a few up in Rye, NH I'm sharing in case anyone's up in that area: http://www.blueoceansociety.org/calendar/. Has anyone found any others closer to Boston? I'm not having much luck. Thanks!-
