    I am planning on ordering bamboo toothbrushes and toothpaste tabs instead of tube toothpaste.  The benefits are less things in the trash!

    This is the last day of the challenge.  I confess that I did not achieve a total plastic free lifestyle but being part of this made me more aware (and ashamed) every time I used plastic.  If we can all be more aware and try not to use plastic it will make the world a better place!

    I hope that people are becoming more aware of the need to reduce/eliminate plastic use.
