Even though July is over, that doesn’t mean we give up what we’ve learned! I’m going to make a conscious effort to pick up more trash which is a pretty big deal for a germaphob like me!
Last day of Plastic Free July!! Finished it off with a habit I’ve continued since last year, refused the free toothbrush/toothpaste package from the dentist!
I learned that I use A LOT of paper products!! I waste a lot more paper than I once thought. I use various forms of plastic, but smaller amounts of each. I definitely need to find ways to reduce my paper towel consumption. This proves difficult in employee restrooms and the gym (wiping down machinery after using it for the next guest). Is it plausible to expect employees to stop using paper towels and switch to hand towels or hand dryers? Is it logical to bring my own towel to the gym every night and add additional laundry to my ever growing pile? I’m not sure of the right answer here, but one thing I certainly need to do more of is eat more fresh produce with little packaging. That’s better for my health and the environment!
