    I had a hard time keeping up with this challenge with all the vacation and traveling I did in July. I guess that's good to know and I can do some things to plan ahead better next summer.

    I am not sure if this would convince the cafe to use non plastic utensils  but hiring a dishwasher would help an unemployed person out.

    On my weekend travels, while I was advocating for not using single use plastic, with my reusable bags, I learned that Connecticut is going to charge 5 cents for each plastic bag starting soon (Aug. 1, 2019)   in all the stores, state wide.

    Picked blueberries at my Dad's house and ate them right from the bushes, so no plastics needed except for the reusable gallon milk jug cut off.

    Vehicle travel day is very hard to not generate plastic although I did my best with bringing in my reusable bags and reusable containers with me.
