C-Jae Breiter 7/31/2019 11:52 AMI watched "Albatross" the film last night after reading that someone had a screening of it for Plastic Free July. The preview alone is super depressing but the actual film is focuses more on the actual bird life cycle but with a strong message about plastic waste. Recommend it, but warning that it is hard to watch!

REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyle Travel EatingWas this action easy or difficult to do? How did it change your travel experience?
Margaret Arason 7/31/2019 10:08 AMWe travel with two dogs so we often need to do take out for some meals. I travel with 2 plates, 2 glasses, 2 cloth napkins and real cutlery. If we do order in, we do not require disposable eating utensils and this does help cut down the use of plastic. -
Debbie Ledoux 7/31/2019 7:03 AMLast day of July which means the end to the 2019 Eco challenge. Just think of how we can impact our world if everyone continued to do at least one thing each day from their list of activities for an entire year!!! It is known that doing something for 21 days straight will make it a habit. What a great habit to have!!! I encourage everyone to continue with your activities.-
Hannah Carey 7/31/2019 10:01 AMI completely agree, Debbie! Thanks for participating in this year's challenge :D -
Margaret Arason 7/31/2019 12:36 PMWell said, Debbie. I hope to continue with my activities as well!

Margaret Arason 7/29/2019 2:17 PMLocal ice cream company has the right idea....a glass jar for ice cream with a refundable deposit when you take it back to be reused. So much better than plastic wrapped cardboard containers.

Margaret Arason 7/28/2019 10:07 AMNo more plastic clam shells for this house. If I cannot purchase berries in recycled paper boxes, I won’t buy them!
