    Reflection Question: My family is doing really well with avoiding single-use plastics.  However, I struggle to remember to sometimes put the reusable straws back in my purse after washing them... With two under the age of 5, the still require a lid and straw we go out to eat.  I just bought an extra six straws so hopefully, I will not be caught without one anymore.

    Hey everyone.  We are currently in 27th place out of 741 teams!!! If we can get everyone to start checking in every day and checking off their completed tasks we will rank even higher quickly!!  Sooo I have a question for all of you... We are able to challenge another team and the San Antonio Zoo is of similar size and ranked 26th.  What do you all think about challenging them?

    One post can be seen and shared by many people.  It also lets people know you a little better by understanding what you believe in.

    So I saw an article on these cleaning products today and I think I might try them!!  The bottles can be reused forever and the company is so eco-friendly!  Has anyone tried these??
