At first friends and some family thought what’s the point in doing this when millions aren’t? When I explained how everyone taking part in this has made such a massive difference to the future planet. And more of them are now coming around to our way of thinking 😁

My husband, mother, and I participated in a clean-up of Reed's Beach yesterday evening.  I was very impressed by the fact that the beach was already very well kept.

This was not a difficult challenge for me, as I always have reusable bags in my car. I feel very good carrying the bags into the store knowing the difference I am making.

My husband and I went to our favorite Mexican treat shop last evening where we saw that they had bamboo disposable utensils and I was inspired.  I wanted to see what options are available for biodegradable utensils and propose that we make the switch at work.  In this way, even if they go to a land fill, we’re not adding anything that will...
