July 31 at 8:59 PMMy last reflection question! This challenge helped me realize most of my waste comes from small non-recyclable plastics (such as fruit stickers, plastic clothes tags, etc) as well as paper-packaged food products that are unsuitable for recycling. When I'm not at the mercy of a mandatory school meal plan, I expect my food-related trash to...

July 31 at 6:14 PMWe're at the end of PFJ, and I feel accomplished yet dissatisfied. I think---I KNOW---I could have done more during this month to be proactive. But, alas, it's a work in progress, and I look forward to keeping up my challenges, even when doing so doesn't earn points.

There are a lot of great scientific articles which point to myths about aluminum deodorant, and many that suggest we simply don't know enough. I personally dislike using aluminum deodorant because the...

July 31 at 3:34 PMI went to Vine today and they sliced my baguette so it would fit into my produce bag! (Couldn’t help but tear off a few pieces on my way home) 💚🥖

July 31 at 2:41 PMCan’t believe today is the last day — happy to have learned more about myself and habits that i will continue to do!

July 31 at 12:42 PMSince adding a compost I've realized that quite a bit of food goes to waste. I have improved my food waste over the year but there is still plenty of room for improvement on my end. In addition, having a compost provides my garden with nutrients. I would have had to purchase a fertilzer but using a compost is plastic-free. Although I should...
