Jessica Phillips 7/10/2019 9:34 PMI missed a few days due to a family camping trip, and being plastic free was a big challenge with them! I found it really difficult to convince others to see the benefits in investing a few dollars on reusable utensils vs plastic ones, reuse bags and plates, and only buy what we need. I did take the kids on a daily beach walk and we picked up trash which made me feel good to inspire good habits at a young age. -
