Brianne Phillips 7/17/2019 4:08 PMHey team ZNE! My unnecessary plastic use are those bags at the grocery store that I use for fruits and vegetables. Anyone have a reusable option they like?-
Andrea Lewicki 7/19/2019 11:01 AMErica, let's talk prizes soon, so we know how many extras we have to share. Brianne, we get worms all year round, so if you ever need more, you know where to find them! -

sarah woodruff 7/17/2019 6:14 PMIf it doesn't weird you out... We get super and meal worms delivered in nifty mesh bags. I washed some and use them. Cost me nothing. And not producing extra consumer goods. I'm sure Erica would give you some of our stockpile.
