August 1 at 5:36 AM(1) I need to be more proactive about instructing waitstaff to Skip the Straw! (2) Mason Jars are a great go-to for both food containers and beverage containers (hot or cold). A classic paper lunch bag keeps them from clinking around in a backpack on my 1.25 mile hike to the office from commuter parking. No plastic involved and paper bags can...

July 30 at 8:36 AMWhy so many zero-waste meals? Gardening, baby! Daily grazing... no petro-based fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides, no petro-based transportation, no petro-based packaging! Only thing 'petro-based' about my meals is dishwashing liquid and its packaging... Any suggestions?

July 30 at 8:24 AMOK... I so misplaced my stainless steel travel mug in my travels this weekend... disposable cups and/or buying a readily available replacement reuseable plastic mug for a quick coffee hit on my way to work this morning did not sit well with me.

July 24 at 7:04 PMI'm trying out a Lush deodorant bar and a bar conditioner. I've been a fan for over a year of bar shampoo, so I'm hoping these will be just as successful!

July 24 at 7:02 PMJust visited NYC for the weekend and this was an easy task there. Not so much on my route from home to the office, which is a good thing.

July 24 at 5:39 AMLove developing new habits. I did have a 'fail' one day when I forgot to tell the wait staff 'No Straw' at a restaurant though... need to be more proactive about that!

July 23 at 6:22 AMHmmm. I wish there were a longer 'you can no longer check-in' time. Had a wonderful wi-fi- free weekend and got dinged for it here. Oh well. Well worth the internet-free mental health refresher!!!!
