Jeremy Saje 8/01/2019 11:36 PMThat was fun, and educational! I learned that small changes can make a big impact to the world, without altering your day-to-day life too much. Plastic Free July is over, now begins PLASTIC FREE LIFE!!! -
Jeremy Saje 7/31/2019 2:01 PMLast day of the challenge, so now begins the REAL challenge... keeping these habits up without the prompting. WE CAN DO IT!!!!!! -
Jeremy Saje 7/30/2019 10:48 PMHere's an idea... even though this challenge limits the number of action items you can choose, we can still do the other actions which appeal to us. We may not earn points here, but we'll earn points with the planet. (Wow, that was cheesy...but true!) -
Jeremy Saje 7/30/2019 2:27 PMWOW! Only two days left?! Let’s keep this going and form new habits for the future! -
Jeremy Saje 7/28/2019 4:36 PMIf you can't reuse, at least recycle. I'll carry an empty pop can with me however long it takes to find a recycle bin. -
Jeremy Saje 7/27/2019 6:00 PMDown here in the OC where they don’t have the straw ban. But that’s okay, they are still banned in my heart. -
Jeremy Saje 7/26/2019 9:43 AMWe’re almost there! Stay strong! -
Jeremy Saje 7/25/2019 3:38 PMWent to the movie theater and decided to skip the straw...that was more difficult than anticipated (dark theater and trying to watch while drinking). Next time, I'll bring my own metal straw! -
Jeremy Saje 7/24/2019 2:42 PMIt’s hot out there! Make sure you bring your REUSABLE water bottle with you! -
