I am planning on ordering bamboo toothbrushes and toothpaste tabs instead of tube toothpaste. The benefits are less things in the trash!

Patricia Procopi 7/31/2019 11:39 AMThis is the last day of the challenge. I confess that I did not achieve a total plastic free lifestyle but being part of this made me more aware (and ashamed) every time I used plastic. If we can all be more aware and try not to use plastic it will make the world a better place! -
Patricia Procopi 7/27/2019 4:38 AMI hope that people are becoming more aware of the need to reduce/eliminate plastic use. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Cook a Zero-Plastic Waste MealDo an inventory of your kitchen to see how many single-use plastics you've used in the past. What are some resuable alternatives to these commonly used products? What would your impact be if you switched all the single-use products from your inventory to reusable?
