I use much less plastic than the average american but the area I could cut down the most would be bathroom/wellness area. I also think this will be the hardest area to cut down.

Allie Tilson 7/21/2019 2:50 PMLast year when I did the pick up litter challenge I found it was easily incorporated into my routine. I do not feel that way this year and I suspect it is because of the heat. -
Allie Tilson 7/18/2019 3:03 PMI was quickly picking up litter so I could go inside and get out of the heat. In the process I helped two elderly neighbors throw their trash in the dumpsters. Good deeds achieved. -
Allie Tilson 7/17/2019 4:00 AMI lathered up with a shampoo made by Megan Anderson! I have tried a few different shampoo bars in the past and have not been happy. This bar was different. There was no strange fragrance and it did not make my hair flat and greasy. I will use again! -
