July 31 at 11:52 AMWe watched 'A Plastic Tide' today and it was pretty mind-blowing to see the vast quantities of plastic in the ocean and washing up onto shore in countries around the world.The misconception that I myself have been guilty of is that the people living in those places are responsible for the trash; it was eye-opening to learn that is not the case!...

July 29 at 5:21 AMI think about things like disposable razors and realize that I have watched my mom use them for years on vacations. A big part of why is the convenience factor.

July 26 at 12:12 PMCongratulations to the six person EJ trash pick-up team today! We gathered enough trash in the parking lot, wooded areas and playground to fill 8 grocery bags! Way to go team!

July 19 at 8:17 AMI listened to part of a podcast yesterday where they were talking about the Plastic Free EcoChallenge. The one lady was describing how she rather sternly (but somewhat nicely) told the waitstaff off for putting straws at her table. It sounds more like she shamed them for doing that, but maybe that is what more people need. We were out to dinner...

July 17 at 1:20 PMHad a great time making bags from old T-shirts today with some awesome coworkers! I would like to continue this DIY trend after Plastic Free July is done - maybe once a month to correlate with the monthly health challenges!

July 17 at 12:00 PMI am LOVING the green activities we've been doing this month! The toothpaste workshop was great and making the bags today was really fun. Thanks to our team captains for the plastic-free tutorials :)

July 17 at 6:44 AMIt makes you stop to appreciate your community more and how different it looks clean vs with litter scattered around. Nature looks and feels better when not interrupted by humans and our trash!
