    If you want a cool way to avoid plastic straws, order a Final Straw. I carry one on my keychain and just ordered another one for my zoo bag.

    I always carry my own airplane/travel snacks. It saves on money, calories, and plastic.

    I love this plastic free challenge.  It is helping me create new habits.  It is just the nudge I needed.
