    I spent most of my vacation telling my mom about the eco challenge and ways she can reduce her lasting usage and was shocked at how less eco friendly California is than Oregon

    Found an alternative in refillable glass jars, and hoping to use and advertise within my community for those of us who aren't confident in making our own.

    We are contributing to the oxygen on our planet, and having a food to table connection so we can appreciate our food and eat more nutritious food.

    Buying bulk is teaching us to make our own food that we would otherwise buy pre-made, like granola bars, bread, and broth. I think our Western society teaches us to move fast all the time, and prevents us from slowing down enough to prepare our own food from scratch. I also think there's a perception that it's more expensive to cook from scratch.

    We use SO many diapers, that's a huge volume of trash across the first year or two of each child's life. They don't decompose easily, they often have chemicals, and they make it harder for our kiddos to connect pottying with being wet, which is a key aspect of potty training.

That said, my family and I have been avoiding plastic at the grocery store, replacing our disposables with reusables, and are in the process of moving out of our house to start building a tiny house (with reclaimed...

    In the spirit of getting rid of plastic straws I brought reusable straw to leave in our community kitchen to let others have as well.

    I forgot my brush kit for my straw today and submitted for Ruby to purchase reusable straw brushes and baby bottle brushes so we can clean out reusable utensils at the pearl.

     I invited 3 people from work to try to include more people to reduce plastic but no takers and the cup I bought Andrew got thrown away. well we win some and then we reduce plastic some.
