    Thank you for this challenge. It really got me thinking about how much plastic I use as well as what those around me use. It let me share what I know and helped me to educate others. This brought plastic use to the top of my list. Overall it was enlightening.

    Food Minimize Packaging
    With the added mindfulness of reducing your packaging, what have you noticed about the amount and type of single use plastics used for packaging when you shop in the grocery store?

    Some stores still use quite a bit of packaging. But I have noticed some brands minimizing their plastic and being more conscious. New Leaf in SC does a great job with this. They also have bins to choose your own amount of products (to put into mason jars) for example.

    In what ways is supplying your pet with all natural pet toys better for your pet, better for you, and better for the environment?
