July 31 at 7:47 AMDid not even realize it was the last day until I saw everyone's feed. I love the challenge but would be better with a support group... otherwise I feel like I'm swimming in a sea of plastic by myself. I did not watch my documentary... but I will this weekend.

July 30 at 4:43 AMI was picking up trash this weekend and was horrified to find hundreds of these scattered through the woods..... long term project - we need to get amazon and other retailers to quit selling these, and we need to pass legislature against these!

July 26 at 7:50 AMWe think of receipts as being made of paper, but they are loaded with BPA and other chemicals and pose a threat to our health and environment.

July 25 at 5:32 AMThere is a lot of really ICKY trash out there. I usually don't mess with that when going on my walk - it's easy enough to pick up 5 (or 10 or 20) pieces of "clean" trash. But I'm wondering if I should sacrifice a rubber glove to the cause and do a cigarette cleanup.... so many cigarette butts that I don't want to even touch.
