My kids and I watched the Netflix documentary Minimalism. My daughter really enjoyed it, and we have decided to watch more of these types of documentaries together.

Deb Howe 7/27/2019 4:16 PMThe bad part is remembering to check in every day! -
Blair Bazdarich 7/26/2019 4:52 PMI've started seeing trash everywhere! I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing... -
Tracy Nappi 7/25/2019 8:00 PMMy favorite part of this challenge is seeing the impact it has made on my children. Although I keep a box of ziplock baggies in the pantry (school field trips require everything to go in the trash), neither of my kids has used a baggie this summer. They are taking the time to slow down and think about their actions...and a bit of mom side-eye when they are in a rush and starting to reach for a baggie never hurts! -
Tracy Nappi 7/24/2019 10:00 PMOne of the hardest parts of this challenge is realizing that I cannot be completely plastic-free. I was really excited to order toilet paper and paper towels online that come wrapped in paper. However, when I did a price comparison, they are double the cost of what I am currently paying!!! At this time, I cannot justify that expense.-
Carol White 7/25/2019 5:32 AMYes, I'm finding the same. We do need to reduce our use of plastic but cannot be so focused on one thing that we lose sight of financial and health concerns. Quite early on someone posted that this challenge was very expensive as she was trying to replace so many things at once. I finally figured out that we just need to be aware of the problem, start where we can, and make this a life-long journey.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Skip the StrawHave you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.
Stella Egar 7/24/2019 3:19 PMYES! I see that people are not using/declining straws when offered to them and vendors are now using cups that don't require straws for the drinks that they make. -
Blair Bazdarich 7/18/2019 1:05 PMRemembering to check in can be a challenge, but it is a good reminder - I nearly forgot to pick up my trash today, until I went to my dashboard!! -
Stella Egar 7/10/2019 2:26 PMI think this challenge is a great reminder that each of can do at least more than one thing to help save the planet and not use any plastic! -
Raquel Rojas 7/10/2019 12:48 PMMy favorite plastic free switch so far has been switching the liquid dish soap in my house to bars of soap!-
Kristen Embler-Kokuba 7/24/2019 12:20 PMWhat a great idea, Raquel! I just purchased a new plastic-free brush and a bar of dish soap for the kitchen sink- can't wait to try them out :)
