Recycle Brevard 2019

I didn't have a chance to check in yesterday and thought I could do it now but it's locked... Well, tasks were done just not accounted for in the challenge. Onward!

Exiting my car to see a man flick his cigarillo butt in a puddle on the ground right in front of me! He apologized profusely - not for littering but for throwing something in front of me. I told him about the challenge and that I would have to pick it up. He said "no, no!" but didn't move to retrieve it. So I picked it up, put in the...

oh my gosh - i just can't believe how fast time has gone - i'm super excited to see more actions which will inspire me in the future - today i'm going to message my team members and give them information on the "1 million actions" challenge sponsored by 1 million women so that they can continue their momentum if they choose to do so. ...

SIL = sister in law. ;×)  ....sorry about that! Now in EU so we'll see how they do here!
