    Today may be the "final" day, but my habits won't stop.  I look forward to challenging myself as an ongoing stewardship activity.  Go Earth!

    Wow this has been a busy week.   It was surprisingly hard to convince restaurants to not put that plastic straw in my water. Hopefully businesses will rethink the use of the plastic straw.   It is a small thing but it sure adds up. With so many individuals participating in the plastic free challenge, I think we will see a positive result within...

    It's amazing how little trash you produce when you start refusing plastic and find the alternatives. EVERYTHING has one, so excited to reduce the waste I create over my lifetime.

    Last day of challenge. Once I got into a routine, it went well. I feel this month I have changed more of my habits.
