    I think my biggest success from this challenge came right near the end of the month. I took advantage of the back-to-school sales that stores were featuring and nabbed myself a few basic pencil pouches.

    One of my biggest plastic issues is bagged lettuce. Today I went to the store and bought whole heads of romaine and will cut them myself. A little more effort and I saved a piece of single use plastic.

    Shared the event to Facebook! Here's hoping we get some more team members from it. Good luck, everybody! Go Penguins!
