    I went to Universal Studios Hollywood with my boyfriend July 18.  It was a bit harder to avoid plastic there and I definitely slipped up/had to use some.  But I was able to get one drink as a refill in a cup we had gotten another drink in and I avoided plastic straws in the park.

    When I went to Dat Dog this week, I brought my own reusable cup (yay Mardi Gras throws) for my soda instead of taking a single use plastic one.  Every little bit helps!
