    Are you sad that Plastic Free July is ending? Not to fear! Your PFJ team captains are already getting ready for a bigger and better PFJ 2020! Look at the fun diversity of reusable straws we brought with us for our celebratory milkshakes (in compostable cups) Great job Team Seattle Aquarium!

    Hopefully by next July I’ll have a dehydrator so I can make my own single ingredient dog treats. But in the meantime, Kaia and I are both thankful for Mudbay’s bulk treats and refillable container!

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Buy Unpackaged Produce
    Why do you think these produce products started amassing so much plastic packaging? Who is the plastic packaging really serving -- the consumer, the producer, or someone else?

    It was interesting to get some new ideas! There were many things that I already try to do in my daily life but this month's challenge helped me really appreciate how there is always more : ) I didn't do a good job of checking things off each day on this website, but I definitely had the suggestions in mind and consolidated a bit for my final day to make up for some missed points.

    Last day of Plastic-Free July! I love this annual opportunity to take a hard look at my plastic consumption and try new ways to reduce it. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Lifestyle Travel Toiletries
    What is the benefit of using bar soaps or refilling your travel sized containers? Is this an action you think you will keep in your life?

    It's far less expensive to refill my own containers--plus then I can use my regular products, which aren't sold in travel sizes.
