Crystal Nicole 7/31/2019 2:53 PMLast day- I have been looking into toothpaste pellets- as FB keeps advertising cool stuff like they know me or something! -

Crystal Nicole 7/30/2019 7:24 AMThroughout the month I have seen more and more facebook ads for sustainable products and events for clean up efforts! Coincidence? Nah- FB just listening in on my conversations and fulfilling the ad quota! -
Crystal Nicole 7/29/2019 5:57 PMI can't believe there's only a couple days left! I bought my fruit for the week last night- apples, peaches,pears & bananas. I am just looking at the other teams and thinking- wow- I hope these habits stay! -
Crystal Nicole 7/26/2019 5:50 AMI have bounced back and forth this week between being happy to pick up trash for the challenge & being mad at the slobs who litter in the first place! No respect! -
Crystal Nicole 7/21/2019 8:17 PMEven though it's late- I didn't forget! My purchase at Michael's today-bag free, used my canvas tote at Publix & made sure no straws and picked up litter too!-

REFLECTION QUESTIONPets Invest in a Pooper-ScooperHow are caring for your pet and caring for the environment connected for you?
Crystal Nicole 7/19/2019 8:23 AMthis is cheating- I have cats and therefore already have a pooper scooper- but hey, I use it daily-
Crystal Nicole 7/26/2019 5:49 AMI do refill the boxes- and every month I wash them out completely (besides scooping everyday)- which is disgusting, but cleaner for my household and kitties -
Jessica Fowler 7/25/2019 9:37 AMBut you can use a reusable, refillable litter box instead of getting a new plastic tub every time. If you don;t already.

REFLECTION QUESTIONPets Try a Pet Shampoo BarIn what ways does your pet make your life happier, more interesting, or more rewarding?
Crystal Nicole 7/19/2019 8:23 AMI am going to be completely honest- I had no idea they sold bar soap for pets and truthfully I have used plain ivory on my pets in the past- too cheap to buy special soap. But now that I found some on amazon- I am thrilled to try it.... -
Crystal Nicole 7/18/2019 7:59 AMBananas are the fruit of the day~ I'm going to visit family this weekend and I'm thinking watermelon of these hot Florida days sounds wonderful -
Crystal Nicole 7/17/2019 8:59 AMStarted my morning prepping dinner- pot roast with root veggies in the crock pot and being very aware of what went in the garbage can- only the meat tray and wrap (I had the roast in my freezer). Potatoes and carrots & onion were all plastic free
