Whilma Sackett 7/31/2019 1:10 PMThis has been a fast plastic free month. I found it pretty easy to change some bad habits. Mostly I don't ever use a plastic water bottle and take my own reusable bags to the grocery store. Hope to keep this going in the future. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Skip the StrawHave you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.
Whilma Sackett 7/17/2019 8:35 AMMy favorite restaurants won't give a straw unless they are asked for it. I'm happy about that.-
