If you think about it, what kind of chemicals are you putting in your mouth everyday from the plastic.  Would it be so hard to change if it would help the environment? Maybe if more people made the change maybe big corporations would jump on it and think, "hey I can get more business if I offer bamboo"?

yes it does!  I have to think about the things I'm throwing away and why I have them in the first place that I would not want to put them in a paper liner.  Now I rethink when I buy how I would dispose of certain items. I use the local recycle plant for items I would never throw away-light bulbs, batteries and such.

I was surprised how much I actually use. I thought, because I recycle, that I was doing great. I'm doing good but, can do much better. On something's I did better than I thought. I know more now and am willing to make necessary changes to help our environment.

I joined the challenge to see how much more I can make a difference. There are many things I already do, compost, garden, recycle, pick up trash, watch educational shows on saving the environment,  use my own recyclable bags when shopping...but I wanted to know how there were other ways and I learned so much. I never realized how many items are...

I became more aware how many items in the store are in plastic.  I have cut down drastically on single use and feel much better in helping the environment

I've started composting at work, and I've been researching compost bins for home!  

Obviously what we're doing now is not solving the plastic problem, so thinking outside the box, and encouraging others to, is the only way things will change.

I haven't gone yet, but I plan to soon!

Obviously less plastic! I'm not a huge fan of bar soap, though. I'm not ready to change my shampoo habits just yet.

I can reduce my food waste a lot! And buy less pre-packaged food.
