Barbara Carey 7/11/2022 7:10 AMI had already eliminated so much plastic from our lives that it is challenging to do more. I need to use up what I have and then do the research to find available products I can substitute. This takes much longer than a month. It's also a financial challenge. I'm not giving up, I'm just recognizing reality. -
