Create Your Own Action
Give up items not recycable
I have learned what items my town accepts for recycling. I have studied what will never make it to the centers. I am going to redeem bottles instead of recycling them and choose unavoidable plastic purchases based on #1, 2 and 5.

Terry Murphy 7/31/2019 12:21 PMThis monthlong challenge has made me more aware of what I buy. I have been introduced to additional resources via the challenge, which have in turn offered me support and further "challenges." I will continue learning and continue avoiding plastic. -

Terry Murphy 7/29/2019 2:52 PMWill be grilling tonight and do not anticipate any plastic to be involved. NOTE: I got a discount on the A Drop in the Ocean and purchased the safety razor with blades that can be returned for recycling. I am learning how to shave my legs all over again. It's not a mindful practice. -

Terry Murphy 7/24/2019 2:35 PMWhen I don't buy anything, make my own food, bring my own coffee .... life is easier. Then I went to the Farmers Market to get local produce without the plastic. Funny thing is, I got some kale and didn't notice that it was in PLASTIC .., when I put it away at home. That shows how blind I am to plastic. I never saw it until it was too late. -
Terry Murphy 7/24/2019 2:32 PMalways bring my lunch to work and am using a mason jar for liquids. Smaller jars for food.
