    Had a few missed opportunities but moving along and supporting the challenge.  Not sure if a team member shared but St. Pete has a local refillary were you bring your own containers and fill up on essential items.

    Made homemade no kneed bread so i would eliminate the plastic that typically comes with purchased bread. Easy to make, good for you and helps the plastic free challenge.
