  Hi Erica, I found them on Amazon- the brand is Delomo- they were listed as "Amazon Choice" and were only $13. They were comfortable and fit my hands well. My dogs absolutely loved our new game and I could not believe the amount of hair that came off of them. They worked well too removing hair from the dog beds and the sofa covers. I would definitely buy them again.

Today I reminded my co-workers that it was Plastic Fee July and encouraged them to accept the challenge. Because the company I work for is religious based I reminded them that the Pope was totally on board with this and was himself meeting with the Plastic Bank. Neither person had heard of the challenge but one did say that he had recently bought a reusable cup with a steel straw and would check things out online. Here's hoping he will follow through and join the team.
