That was fun, and educational!  I learned that small changes can make a big impact to the world, without altering your day-to-day life too much. Plastic Free July is over, now begins PLASTIC FREE LIFE!!!

Good job everyone. We all need to keep up the good work so we can have a better environment. 

Last day of July let's finish strong. 

Today was a great day....

Happy Wednesday everyone.

Making memories.....here's one that summarizes my thoughts this month. 

For the last Eco-challenge of july I made flyers to give to the residents concerning, throwing unused medications down the toilet, garbage disposal and drains. This was well received by all of our seniors here. They had no idea that all drains lead to the ocean. I informed them when a medication is no longer needed, weather it is a prescription from their doctor or an over the counter medication it needs to be disposed of in the safest way possible in order to save our ecosystem. I told them that could take any left over perscription medication or over the counter medication to their doctor or pharmacy on their next visit and that they will dispose of it properly. I also stated that the plastic pill containers were a great reusable item. They hold the right amount of bobby pins, straight pins, small hair clips, and paperclips etc and if they put a little rice or macaroni or dried beans in them it makes a great rattle for their grandchildren and great grandchildren. Of course they need to seal the lid to the bottle with some glue if they are making a rattle. Kids will play with anything, and empty pill containers provide little ones hours and hours of fun and they don't cost a thing. 👶👦👧👪. 
So, no matter how old or how young it's never to late to start saving our ecosystem.

My grandchildren are on their way to making a BIG change in their lives. One that affects the rest of their lives forever. They wanted me to thank you all for your support while they take this new knowledge to school with them in the fall. They also wanted me to tell you that they are making Christmas presents out of the 10 packages of new straws they bought. It seems they are using their allowance to buy all the packages of plastic straws from the 99 cent store. That way no one else will have plastic straws. Kids, you gotta love em.  😍
