Jason Martens 7/31/2019 11:37 AMThis has been a fantastic challenge! I have so many take away tips for eliminating plastic waste in my life. I look forward to continually challenging myself to remain plastic free and starting some those practices that I could not during the Eco Challenge - composting/gardening, I'm looking at you. I have even managed to inspire others to look at how they use plastic in their lives which is pretty rewarding. Thank you for letting me participate and learn.
