    My 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...

    Just want to say thank you to everyone who embarked on this plastic-free journey. I enjoyed learning from all of you and greatly appreciate having had the opportunity to connect with people who also share the same vision of a healthier tomorrow for our planet.

    We'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.

    Steel razors save so much money and so much unnecessary plastic waste! When I think of all the razors that I've purchased in my lifetime, I've easily spent $1,000+ on them. Alarming, right? But, that's the norm! It's what everyone does! NO. It doesn't have to be the norm and it shouldn't be what everyone does. Consumerism is so ingrained in our...

    I've definitely experienced rashes before. But, beyond that, it would be difficult to pinpoint the exact side effects from aluminum deodorant. 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...

    Thanks for the challenge! It has been enlightening, challenging and fulfilling to evaluate my actions.

    I 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) 💚🥖

    Can’t believe today is the last day — happy to have learned more about myself and habits that i will continue to do!

    Since 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...
