    That all should pick trash, for it never stop showing on the streets and sidewalks. May the litters will follow our example.

    Big thanks to our Akron Zoo team for taking on the Plastic Free July Challenge! Keep it up all year round, and we'll see you here next Plastic Free July!

    While scrolling though my Instagram feed I’m seeing lots of zero waste and plastic free ads! I think this is great and I hope that these companies will be successful and that some of the more expensive items will become more affordable over time, although as I’ve mentioned in other posts, sometimes I have to recognize these purchases as worthy...

    I think everything is interconnected. I want my pets to have the greatest lives they can and they can only do that if the environment is also being cared for.

    I have enjoyed sharing with my friends and family about my journey this month. I had a good discussion with my fiancé after watching Minumaism together.

    This 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.

    Great job, Akron Zoo!  Hope everyone learned some great new ways to make a difference!

    I thought I was doing well at minimizing my plastic footprint, but this challenge showed me I still have a ways to go.... The challenge may be over but I'm up for another month!
