Rachel Willis 7/20/2019 6:19 AMMany of the daily challenges have been easy to incorporate into my lifestyle. Skipping the plastic bags when buying produce, using reusable bags at the grocery, and switching to a bamboo toothbrush have been simple changes. It's nice to see how these changes impact the planet when I check them off.
As an added step, I wrote to Target and Kroger to ask them to start stocking bamboo toothbrushes in my local stores.
Keep up the good work, everyone! We can make a difference when we all work together to change the world. -
