    I also keep my reusable grocery and produce bags in the car.

    A friend drove to a concert and I did not have my reusable cup with me, which I keep in my car, so I had to use the disposable plastic cup for wine...darn! 🤦‍♀️

    I remembered to use my reusable thermos with a reusable straw which I keep in my car for iced tea at a take out restaurant yesterday! A win for creating new habits!

    Enjoying sharing the changes I have made to reduce my disposable plastic usage. I believe this challenge may have created a Just say no to disposable plastic monster! 😂

    Embracing a reduced disposable plastic lifestyle has been both challenging and rewarding! Mailing this a priority this month has dramatically  reduced my disposable plastic usage. 🤸‍♀️

    Discovered that most wax paper uses paraffin, a petroleum based product. Found a product that uses soybean wax instead. Will use as a back up to my Bees Wrap.

    How can you think outside the box (or bag!) when it comes to disposables?

    Sharing something with a friend means no leftovers at all!
