    Thanks for another eco challenge. Keep up the good work everyone

    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.

    Went to the Brooklyn food trucks smorgasbord and searches far and wide for recycling bins but there weren’t any, dismayed I asked and was told all plates and utensils were compostable!

    I was going to do a waste audit as one of my Challenges, but looks like I'm not going to get that accomplished. I've been busy with other activities this July, and just don't have the focus to count every piece of trash that I generate.
